Why? & can an airplane run into the stars?

Hi community members,

Why ? & can a airplane run into the stars? (I mean like the closest one in space=in the sky).

I'll give a Best for what I think is the best & some twinkling stars.

Update:

Hello in my opinion this is a real question not something off the wall so if you have a smart a ss answer don't bother answering.

    Crashing a Cessna into the Oscar awards venue ought to do it.

    Real question? Seriously ?

    Dozens of good reasons.

    The nearest star is the sun. That makes it just completely impossible rather than absolutely utterly impossible.

    - Planes need air to fly. There is none in space.

    - Plane engines need oxygen to work. There is none in space.

    - It takes a huge amount of energy to get to the sun. Planes cannot hold that much fuel.

    - It would be fatal. No-one would agree to fly the plane.

    Unless you have some cheddite. See Harry Harrison's comic novel "Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers"

    If you think this is a real question, you are either the most ill-informed person I have ever run across, or are about 6 years old.

    aircraft can only fly in the atmosphere, which is limited to heights of about 50 miles. Stars are trillions of miles away.

    "some twinkling stars" ? twinkling is caused by atmospheric distortions. The stars don't twinkle, it's the image we see that is distorted by the moving atmosphere, the air, that it passes through.

    No stars are millions of miles away from earth and there are no stars that are within reach of an airplane.
