Subj : Question about space travel

Hello all. I hope for the best taht it is allwed for any user to ask a question in this area, and not reserved only for those daily announcement posts we see every day.
Thing is this:
I know that when you build a rocket, you have to consider how much fuel you need for it to "escape" earth and go on travelling into space, while at the same time account for how much the fuel weights and how that will affect the actual performance of the propelling device, also not forgetting fuel will get consumed along the way, weighing less and less as the rocket goes on... So my question is this: say you want to travel to the closest observable star, which I believe is 4 light years away... is it feasable at all to also accomodate enough "fuel" to actually get the space ship to travel all the way there?
(I have more questions like this, I know very little about astrophisics, but I love being amazed by the explanations and answers to these kind of questions).
Thank you all who would take a minute to consider my post and have a thought to share.

Cheers!
Malvinas.
