Well, you don't need wikipedia to calculate the energy.
Kinetic energy of a moving object is: E = 1/2 * m * v ^ 2
v is in you case 10% of c, wich is 10% of 300,000,000 m/s
v ^ 2 is then 900,000,000,000,000 m^2/s^2, that is 9e15
m is a metric ton which is thousand kg, so we add 3 zeros and divide by two: 4.5 e 18.

Yepp, some telescopes floating far away to use the sun as gravitational lense would be superb!

Problem is such a craft would need to be 700AU away from the sun, Voyager right now is rouly 114AU away.

This arcticle describes it for communication, unfortunately the immage links are broken: http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/sun-gravitational-lens/

by 2100, it's all too slow, too slow, i want it now, in this lifetime please, i'm not sure if i'm gonna want to come back here anymore. I already posted a request to be stationed at the other side of the galaxy next life.

Which is needed for ... ?

Orbiting whore-houses for the miners?

I bet these guys http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/projects/project-icarus/ would love to not have to build their interstellar probe one tiny chunk at a time and then lift them out of Earth's gravity well.

That's a fission rocket. There are at least two detailed designs for fusion spacecraft, Discovery II and Project Daedalus / Icarus.

Neither, however, would look anything like a star, unusual or otherwise, even if the exhaust happened to be pointing in your direction.

It called Project Icarus because it's a billing itself as the "son of" Project Daedalus from the 70's.

What makes you say that travel outside the solar system is impossible? We have two probes already about to leave the solar system. Given we have only been travelling through the air for 100 years or so, and into space for the last 50, I'm astonished at your confident predictions of impossibility.

You might be interested in Project Icarus - a serious project to design an interstellar craft, using technologies only slightly in advance of our current capabilities. It's a thought experiment - no-one imagines actually building such a craft in the near future.

And in any case, who knows how the future will be? It may be very difficult to send humans in their current form on interstellar voyages - but we may change our form, download our minds into nano-scale processors, or even figure out some new physics in the next 100 years!
