If we can't get to lightspeed there is no hope at all. But travel at lightspeed has it's own problems. Space isn't as empty as we think it is. just a few atoms can spoil it all when you hit them at lightspeed. I hope one day we might overcome those obstacles. I think space is marvellous and impressive. A settlement on the moon would be great and I think its doable. If we really wanted to do that I mean the whole world we could be there in 50-100 years time. I would want to live on the moon. -------------- Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. Back to top
