Well, i can't wait for mankind to get out there and make his mark in the universe, plus i'd like to be among the pioneers like Christopher Columbus.

yeah, like Thomas Edison couldn't wait for someone to invent the light bulb so he wouldn't have to research in the dark by gas light???
what are you doing to speed things up?
study physics...etc,
?
all we have to do is defy gravity by understanding and controlling how a gyroscope stands up...
it's called angular momentum.!
i been trying to figure it out for 30 years...
good luck, i'll be dead when it happens.

Most of us already have traveled faster than the speed of light in an ultra-high refractive index medium (see reference). Humans can't physically travel at the speed of light in a vacuum because the energy required is stupendous. Our thoughts can and are traveling through space now on radio waves. In the not too distant future, perhaps we will be able to encode human DNA as a series of laser pulses and transmit the information across space. The only technical problems that I see are problem are power and error correction.

Why excited about traveling the long way ?
Think about traveling through worm hole. That is the way to travel in short time. Like a tunnel short cut to anywhere in the universe without actually go through all the light years of distances.

It is unlikely that we ever will travel at the speed of light. If a person is accellerated to the speed of light their mass becomes ininite, translation, you wouldn't be travelling anymore as you would have absorbed the universe . Can't be done. Besides , to reach the speed of light you would have to have a propulsion systen that ejected some form of energy at faster then the speed of light, again... can't be done

It won't happen, because if it was going to we'd know about it, as if we could travel at the speed of light time travel would be possible. Which means somebody in the future would have come back and shown us how it's done but this hasn't happened.

Cool your jets Spock! Mankind has already made it's mark on the universe. Space trash, knowledge, destruction of a major astral body, and the idea that we are all much smaller than we percieve.

yuse gonna beez dead a long long long long - very long time, in all likelyhood the human race will be extinct and the human civilization that exists now will end. Long before we figure out how to travel at even half of the speed of light.

Forever. A mass cannot be accelerated sufficiently to reach the speed of light. As you approach the speed of light your mass increases so much cannot get enough energy to reach that final speed.

Light speed seems pretty unattainable to me, far more likely is someone coming up with a way to fold space so speed is not so necessary, or maybe a way to create wormholes to get to a and b.

i very much doubt man will ever travel at the speed of light. in order to move any object of any significant mass at speeds approaching the speed of light would require unbelievable levels of energy and to travel at the speed of light would require near infinite amounts of energy. thus. unless you want to drain all of the energy in the universe and thus cause it to cease to function, i don't recommend it.
