Yes. There’s nothing new here, but I like the way that somebody has finally drawn all the disparate strands together onto a readable concise article.

To summarise, the article mentions:
Warp drive, artificial wormholes, briefly before dismissing them.
The tentative discovery of a planet around alpha centauri.
Project Orion pulsed nuclear.
Inertial confinement fusion, magnetic confinement fusion, Bussard ramscoop.
Generation ships.
Egg ships.
Suspended animation.

Thus in a single article we have all the important options for interstellar travel.
Generation ships
