I’m pretty skeptical of Interstellar travel myself. If humans don’t kill themselves off in a couple hundred years - I wouldn’t bet on it - I think we might reach near light speed travel. But even so, light speed is actually pretty slow in the big scheme of things. And human lifespans are short too. There is the paradox where it doesn’t make sense to send out astronauts on long journeys because if you do, in short order technology improves and if you send up a ship later it could pass the previous one. There’s a name for the idea but it’s slipped my mind. But we humans are probably stuck in our solar system which isn’t too bad though. If we could, say, go to Pluto with a manned mission that would be pretty impressive.

I agree... we are stuck here, and aliens stuck wherever they exist.

If a civilization ever got advanced enough to where they could safely and quickly travel between solar systems they would be advanced enough to realize what a tremendous waste of time, energy and resources it is. The "problem" is that other than curiosity there will never be a reason or need to travel amongst the stars: if we get to a point where Earth can no longer support our needs, IE: we need more minerals, food, water, space to live - there is by far more than enough of what we will ever need within our own solar system. We have stories in the form of books, TV and movies about travelling in space to satisfy our curiosity and see what is out there, but realistically we would instead turn to finding some way to communicate with another civilization if we located one or if we REALLY need to go there we would send unmanned probes.

Colonising the Universe and becoming an intergalactic species is the benefit that we would get out of interstellar travel and colonisation. We would be imprinted throughout the universe and would have the ability to last for Eons and beyond. But travelling in conventional ways will be an impossible task. We will need to develop our Solar System terraforming planets, developing technology and then hopefully then, we may figure out ways to create portals to other points in the universe. In summary there is a lot of work to do until we get to that point.

If interstellar travel was possible, we would have been visited by now. The Universe is not young and if life is possible elsewhere and technology progresses linearly, we would have evidence for this possibility. My immediate argument against interstellar travel is that star systems contain planets that individually lack enough free energy to initiate this type of travel. That is for a fly-by mission only. For a return mission , you would need 2 separate acceleration/de-acceleration power profiles. That amount of required energy is even hard to quantify.

Though our machines have. Which, when we ponder it, is amazing in and of itself!

Not impossible just impossible to do in any reasonable time scale.Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2 and New Horizons are doing it right now but it'd take them about 80000 years to reach Proxima Centauri if they were going that way which none of the 5 are.People seem to think that interstellar travel is just like scaling up travel on Earth or to the Moon but difference is scale is massive also the difference in energy needed too.

Most people don't know about the 1 realistic method for interstellar travel. If a ship travels at a constant 1g acceleration rate it would get to Alpha Centauri in 3.6 years (7.3 years would pass on Earth) and this includes turning the ship around halfway to decelerate. It would achieve about .95% light speed in 1 year. A 10 ton ship would require 10 tons of continuous thrust. This is by far the fastest way we can get to other worlds and the ship would have gravity the whole way. All that is needed for this is a fission rocket that can put out thrust for long periods and does not consume hydrogen. A true fission rocket should consume uranium or plutonium only. They are both jittery atoms that are on the verge of fissioning all by themselves. There should be a way to get them to fission in a linear fashion. What's needed is a controlled, time released nuclear explosion. In an atomic bomb fission occurs when neutrons hit uranium or plutonium nuclei. This is because they will not tolerate an increase in mass. Due to the equivalence of mass and energy, the same should be true if you infuse them with energy. This might be as simple as having negatively changed uranium or plutonium atoms coming into contact with positively charged uranium or plutonium atoms. Or perhaps with laser or electromagnetic forces. With the constant 1g acceleration method a ship can span the entire diameter of our galaxy in 24 ship/113,000 Earth years. Systems with stars similar to our sun can be reached in under 10 ship years.

The universe is outrageously big.

We already know that it will take infinite power to power a spacecraft to light speed and at that speed a grain of dust would destroy the craft so we need to look at other ways of getting there like molecular reconstruction into a form of light energy and beam it toward a location while the super quantum computer keeps everything in a suspended state until arrival and everything will be as it was at the beginning of the trip and at that point ion rockets can take over getting closer to the target location but the things we are looking at aren’t the answer. Chemical rockets or warp propulsion drives are like paddling across the ocean in a canoe so the only way is to be the same as light and when we achieve this is when we will be able to travel to the stars and plus we don’t need to send humans to reach any planets because a round trip with all the information in 5 years with no lives lost sounds pretty cool

The key to interstellar space travel is the controlling of gravity. This will allow faster than speed of light travel without breaking any of Einstein's laws.

AI exploration is the most likely option of discovering what is happening in far off solar systems. Future humans will most likely be stuck in our solar system until another star drifts in too close in a few million years at about .65 AU. Then every tens of millions of years would be the only chance to visit another star system randomly . The eaaiest way to explore though is to remain in our solar system and send ever more sophisticated robotic probes with better AI capabilities to conduct all the science observations. And create booster signal outposts to strengthen the signals for data transmissions back to our solar system.

Think Bussard collectors. Bussard collectors are those red nodes on the front of the Federation starships.

Space trains. To avoid being vaporized the spaceships have to be made with a rotating surface shape like a drill bit that can rotate extremely fast so when the nuclear proportion forces kick off and push the spacecraft forward this will open up a new force field causing the two forces to emerge into each other like sliding a hand into a glove, this beautiful connection creates a single and powerful moving wormhole balanced around the space craft so powerful it can maintain a safe pathway to other star systems throughout deep space at light speed because the more power the nuclear propulsion is applied on to the back of the spaceship to help boost the speed the greater the protection shield against debris and meteorites This Nuclear propulsion super boom spacecraft is guaranteed absolutely friction free basically there is no need to ever worry about the spaceship turning into a light wave while traveling to other star systems basically said you can enjoy the ride without losing time because of friction.

Are we stuck in our solar system? Yes.

Either way humans have to develope space travel reason, Milkyway and Andromeda galaxies are on a collision course. We have 4.5 billion years to perfect galactic travel before the two super massive blackholes at each center begin feeding on each other's galactic spiral arms and that's if we just pass by. Should they double back on each other the two galaxies would slowly be eaten by each blackhole as they danced to gravitational pulls. If we don't find intelligent alien life by then, that would mean between two galaxies we are alone.

Here's some out-of-the-box thinking. If it appears travelling to other stellar systems is beyond our ability reasonably quickly due to the vast distances, particles in space along the route, and the slow velocity of any ship, then instead of trying to go there, just we ought to bring those systems TO us.

Correct! We went from first flight of a rudimentary airplane to landing on the moon in a human lifetime and invented most of that technology on the fly. Won't say interstellar travel will be near the same break neck speed but if we want it, we'll make it happen somehow.

I get where you're coming from. However, the difference now is we're pushing the limits of physics. There are only two ways in which humanity can become interstellar travelers: 1.) We learn to produce antimatter in large enough quantities, and figure out a way to store antimatter particles. Or 2.) We learn how to manipulate the very fabric of space.

Two words, atrophy and radiation. Here is something else to think about, we can't go the speed of light and never ever will.

Confirmation bias. Fact we have done it before in different setting doesn't confirm future success.

I hate to live in this era. I want to live in the time where humanity has colonized some planets and you can travel between them like it was a ride with the train.

The comet muamua came from a different star system and they said the same thing a thousand years ago about the moon or Mars what a stupid thing to say that we will never go into deep space.

Interstellar travel will only happen when biological beings and AI/Machine merge and life cycles are pratically infinite, and consciousness being able to be stored and transferred.

Only God can gravitate our souls to other dimensions in the universe but with our bad attitude towards life we are bound to be trapped on this earth 🌍 prison potentially forever ♾️

Well, I don't believe you. I just read an article yesterday about Warp Drive projects currently underway.

What article

There you go again underestimating us 😢

Yeah, right. A Russian and a Chinese source are totally believeable. I trust them anytime anywhere. Good people, good leadership.

We have to ask ourselves why do we need to travel to other stars. We have not even seen all that this solar system has yet.

@@alfonsklapa3353i honestly think they have. They just don’t want to disclose it. It might create panic and chaos. Religion might collapse. Certain religions are taught that we are the only ones here.

Let's say that our time line is to short. A alien that lives for 40000 years and visit earth will not see anything interesting, just primates if he was here at 30000 years ago. If we are not the first on this planet, all that was build 400000 years ago, 4 millions or more is now dust, no one lets technology behind if we consider others on universe. Humans can't live on others planet: radiation, pressure, gravity, light, temperature and atmosphere makes us vulnerable to small changes. With lower gravity, we will be fragil, lower light our eyes would change, radiation will change our skin, virus may kill us or evolved humans may not survive returning to earth. Each creature belongs to their home planet. I think colonization it's difficult, merging humans with machines, nanotechnology, AI implants, hybrid humans or whatever technology may do to us will help us travel thru our solar system for longer periods but be a interstellar civilization will change the way we look for ever.

It's normally carved in stone. :) Well, I guess one could write it, 'on' the stone.

Your conclusions don’t consider the possibility of some form of warp drive. Such a drive would minimize the effects of time dilation. Of course such a drive may turn out to be be impossible or impractical. Who knows?

Well this is clearly not true. I took a spin around Gliese 581g a few years ago. It’s aight there.

elon will launch 30,000 missiles with two million people in each one

Sorry but it wouldn’t vaporize the ship

A big curved dish about 3 km across in front of the ship would act as a really good impact buffer untill we re-invent repulsar sheild technology (bending duel charged magnetic feilds and extending them outwards might work)

Just read Tau Zero and see🎉

What's that?

Watch me.

The anthem of acute intellectual ignorance is sung loudly in the slogan “that’s what they said about flight”. Or any other iteration.

The universe is just too vast and spread out. We’ll never be able to travel fast enough to escape our own solar system much less reach even the nearest star. It just takes too long. There might be a planet 100 light years away with intelligent life but it’s simply out of reach. At 1/10 the speed of light, that’s still a 1000 year journey. And that’s science fiction at this point being able to achieve that speed.
