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.

So tell us, at .999c, how long would it take the crew to travel 8 light-years from their perspective. We know it would take at least a little more than 8 years from the perspective of us here on Earth... |

Imo humans couldn't survive such a journey & they'd all be dead within weeks. |

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 -- Daniel |

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. Luigi Caselli |

Completely delusional & poor grasp of science you mean. |
