Current max speeds are vastly below light speed. Have you ever considered multi-generational spaceships?? Absolutely. Wouldn't survive 1 generation. Murphy's law. |

Just now we are on a multy-generation space unit , making a trip around the galaxy. Working just fine. Fuel consumption is obtained from a stellar nuclear furnace, good for about 6 billion years. Not human technology & too slow. |

Good Point .... but I wouldn't consider taking seven billion people to a new Home Planet. ;-P Maybe several hundred pers ... to allow for a bit of genetic diversity!! -- Daniel |
