FTL meaning faster-than-light. Or is it just a dream. I'm sure we'll colonize other planets and systems one day, but will those just be with generation, aka sleeper, ships?

Hey I know that AKM is hard to achieve but FTL is easily done with wormholes.

There are some ideas like warping space around the ship instead of moving the ship, which may allow for FTL travel without breaking laws pf physics. But I think it will prob take us about 5 centuries or so.

Physical matter cannot go FTL, but
that doesn't mean the stars are out
of reach - there are 9 dimesions, and
the physical world only encompases
the first 3... FTL travel can happen in
other dimensions, but until we learn
how to access those, we'll pretty much
be stuck here...

Technically, no, that's impossible. But if you've read "Pandora's Star", they use a wormhole generator to create a wormhole that moves with the ship, essentially reaching FTL speeds. If only we could construct wormholes that won't rip you apart atom by atom...

We have lots of problems to overcome before we even think about going to Mars, a relative trip down the block. The technology might be available someday but the money won't.

Chuck Yeager went faster than sound. I believe it's probable that we could eventually travel faster than light.
I mean, Han Solo does it all the time.

Havent we screwed up this world enough you actually think we should goto other worlds and screw them up to... come on now!!

no the speed of ligtht seems to be a constant that cannot be exceeded
