If the universe has no start and no ending and is always moving outwards the longer we take to get to other planets is getting more difficult as we speak what technology would we need to get there we would need a major advancement in future engines to take us to the speed of light in order to reach these planets in our lifetime and what would happen if we did reach the speed of light maybe Dr Hawking can answer this do we send out motherships with breeding couples so the children can reach a planet that we could live on i agree with Dr Hawking our planet is on time limit and i think we do need to get out there and explore new planets to live on.

maybe when we discover anti matter and what it actually does this could possibly help us reach out to other galaxies an planets

But why do you want to live there? Were you not
to live on earth? You cant even make sense of
living here. How can you live there?

I am sure once the human being has worked out
a formula for life on earth, the technology will
fall in place to live elsewhere.

Get your house in order first. Be happy with
what you have rather than what you dont have.

The expansion of the universe is just no problem. It is not making the nearby planets and stars move away from us at all. All the planets and stars in our own galaxy are staying right here. Some nearby galaxies are actually getting nearer, not farther away. It is only over vast distances that, on average, galaxies are moving apart. Even the closest galaxy is SOOOOOO far away, that we really have no hope of ever getting there, unless some absolutely magical way is suddenly found. Using ordinary rockets like we know how to build now will never get us out of our own solar system. Which pretty much limits us to Mars, since all the other planets in our solar system are just too harsh. We might, just barely, be able to reach a few nearby stars with advanced nuclear powered space craft, but even then it would takes many decades to make the trip. Using a black hole or worm hole is just out of the question for many reasons, not the least of which is that the closest ones we know of are so far away that even advanced nuclear powered space ships could not get there in less than several thousand years.

We need to FAR exceed the speed of light in order to truly be able to reach any other inhabital planets. So..if you believe traveling at light speed is out of reach..then you can forget what we REALLY need.
The need to exceed light speed: Simply put, the universe is big. The fastest thing known is light, yet it takes over four years for light to reach our nearest neighboring star. When NASA's Voyager spacecraft left our solar system is was traveling around 37- thousand mph. At that rate it couldn't reach the nearest star until after 80-thousand years. If we want to cruise to other stars within comfortable time spans (say, less than a term in Congress), we have to figure out a way to go faster than light.

Anti-matter doesn't do anything. Matter does everything and anti-matter just laughs and says Gotcha! Gone!
Save your cabfare, and let the entire thing unravel you bond by bond back into RNA where you can be King of all Cellularity and make the cell run like the quantum computer that you always wanted but stored and stored until one day, DNA is calling and you are the sinking the ship, lighten that database or else!
You yourself have none of it, but the radio, TV, and all the business is storing data like nuts to squirrels and it's a winter to wonder a comin', you have a file and mailbox and weigh the most.
So you give up the protons, the steps of hydrogen bonds. You are stripped of electrons. You are virus skeleton man, and you are dead. Think, you are now the one they want to KILL!
But you are dead and unbonded and stripped. Quick, into the cave you are already in as a grave. 3 days to fuse into something else. Roll away that stone!
He's gone! He toured, he spoke, he began a church, and yet, he's gone.
No body. will notice, trust me.
The Lord is my...I shall not want.
I do not want, my own father either. Thanks Zoey!

I don't think we will need to go faster than light, but we will have to get up to a decent fraction of it on the journey, maybe 20% or something.
Even so, it we will have to wait a century or so to get to the nearer stars. either this means a couple of generations will live and die on the ship or we need to master some sort of hibernation technology.
Still, the first step is to send out un-maned probes to find out which stars are worth going to. Maybe a really big telescope could do this. even this job will take us a few hundred years.
it's a long term project. The next century or so we need to get confident steaming around our own solar system, before thinking of making a move elsewhere.

I assume you have never heard of the worm hole theory. If the theory is correct then you could fly to the other side of the galaxy as long as you didn't land in a black hole (possibly the entrance to a wormhole???). If you could find one of these "worm holes" then you could go to Neptune with a Saturn 5 Rocket. Just build a space port there and move on to the next few planets the same way.

We'll use a Stargate.

Seriously though I have no idea, since whatever tech we're going to use has not been invented. I don't think the expansion of the universe is a factor here because we can't even get to Mars yet.

well i am sure that with the present technology it is too difficult to go to other galaxies
there is a fact in physics that nothing can go faster than light
so if we were to go there then we must break this law and i dont think it is possible

but who knows 100 years before
man couldnt even imagine about this we must hope that this will happen

The best idea is probably with those ion batteries and anti-matter. They can go pretty fast but only a few thousandths of light speed.

after some hundred years our generation will take a great progress and scientists say that after 100 years they will introduce something through which they can land to other planets and they say that may be we may have a address on mars . don't laugh it can be possible also.
