Travel Among Stars Will Never Happen !

It all comes down to Distance = Speed x Time . Do the simple math ! Even at near light speed, which is very unlikely, travel between even close neighbors would take prohibitively long. This is why, although intelligent species that have mastered space travel, likely abound throughout the universe, we are never visited by any.

Exactly. Humans aren't equipped for extensive space travel, wouldn't
survive long anyway. That's just sci-fi cartoon stuff.

Humans aren't equipped for diving to the bottom of the ocean, flying in
the stratosphere or walking on the Moon either. Alas, the time when we
were limited to a specific environment and couldn't break out of it is
long past.

Didn't people used to believe that Humans, even in pristine conditions,
would not survive travelling faster than 20 M.P.H.??

We've sure proved that 'theory' wrong!! Isn't Science Wonderful?? ;-P

Horses run faster than 20mph all the time. Humans rode them before the
car was invented.

I think you are a bit optimistic.
In the last fifty years, after the moon landing, only unmanned missions
like Cassini and New Horizons have been successful.
Manned missions have been a joke like sending people to the ISS, only
400 Km from the earth.
Better sending probes to the space beyond the moon.

A 'bit optimistic'? Completely delusional & poor grasp of science you mean.

You're comparing that to intergalactic travel? Rofl.

Interstellar, not intergalactic. The fact that you treat them as if they
were interchangeable says a lot.

Interstellar travel should be technically feasible for a civilization
with a developed presence in its own system (low-cost launches due to
economies of scale, industrial activities such as asteroid mining,
settlements on more than one planet, solar power satellites, etc.. As
in, there are technical designs for interstellar propulsion that we know
to be realistic for a civilization with that kind of energy and resource
availability.

I don't think the fact that we haven't gone beyond the Moon in fifty
years is significant, because technological development (and economic
growth) of this kind won't happen within decades.

Both impossible. Voyager would take 73,000 yrs to get to nearest star.
Jesus was alive only 2,000 yrs ago for some perspective. You'd need
1,000 generations to make 1 way trip if average life span is 73 yrs.
That's impossible.

You're a complete nutter lol. Just typing words into a keyboard doesn't
make it feasible. Why should interstellar travel be 'technically
feasible' for a civilization? It's actually 100% impossible. You've
been watching too much Star Trek.

It will never happen. 100% money back guarantee. Sorry to burst you
bubble but you need to grow up sometime.
