Proxima b is just as habitable as Trappist 1 planets because we basically know nothing about them there in same level

It will be impossible as long as we keep shoveling all our tax dollars to Elon Musk

I’m a middle school science teacher, and sci-fi shows and movies have completely warped kids ability to understand practical space travel.

This doesnt take AI into account tho. If AI continues improving it could rapidly advance every other field by automating scientific research/experimentation & scaling that up a millionX

If we can collectively imagine a wormhole then a wormhole will appear

It’s possible with solar sails

It might happen on generational starships, or if we perfect hypersleep. We would also need definitive proof that the destination is habitable.

Man there are a lot of experts in the comments who know better than someone with a degree in the field! Aren’t we lucky to have their input

never say something is impossible. remember when we thought flight was impossible? it's just impossible for now

I know you couldn't go anywhere close to lightspeed but could you not just keep getting big boosts from slingshotting your way around the solar system then shoot out ?

Not in our lifetime or many lifetimes after us. But definitely one day in the very distant future.

ok ok fine ill come out of hiding and make the tech for yall

lol anyone who thinks we're gonna reach other stars this generation is delusional. we're nowhere close to a propulsion system that'll go fast enough for that

iamsamiam117 :
you can't actually say that. as we have learned through time as we discover new things and make new things, things we never thought could happen then can. an example is the phones in our hands

Random thought incoming; since there’s virtually no resistance to motion in space, can’t we accelerate ships to top speed and keep makin short engine bursts to increase speed? Could it work?

what if our solar system is that spacecraft meant to take us through the vastness space for to another place and earth is our place to survive the immensely long journey? lol 😂😂😂😂😂

I doubt the answer will be light speed. I reckon it will be figuring out how to fold space or create wormholes

Lauren Blendz :
Use black hole gravity to adhere teleported atoms / data to light particles and then use pointed quasars to travel the speed of light. Reorganize atoms at point of choice with magnetic resonance

why not use the warp?????
