Why is it that man is so hooked on speed? as in it would take so long at the speed of light to get from here to there. and by that way of thinking, a ship from any other system could not get to earth in there life time, or us getting to them. speed is some thing that works ( to a point ) on a planet but should not be used for long space travel. you only use a small part of your brain as of yet. but what if you found a way to use all, or mose of it. you would now know how to travel at the speed of thought. as in you are here, you think you are there, and now you are there. no speed came into it at all. people are looking for intelligent life out there, and yes there would be some. but first try to find intelligent life on this earth. good luck with that, there is none. just because you can make words, walk upright, and play with your self; dont make you intelligent.....intelligent people dont make war, dont kill, dont let people starve, and dont steal............look around you........

Seems like the Old Cola has gone flat.
1. Traveling at the speed of light for the person doing the traveling is the way to go. For him, time stands still and the trip was instantaneous. Everyone else ages.
2. It is not how much of your brain is used, but how you use it.
3. Being intelligent does not automatically preclude a disposition for or against violence, motor skills, or indifference.

While you're worried about feeding the poor and stopping the war, we'll be colonizing other worlds, cya later. Moving the speed of light is not possible, but thanks for using the analogy to put across why we shouldn't explore space and why we should worry about more mundane things in life. That Planet Killing Asteroid bearing down on us will rely on the "space freaks" among us, not on the peace-niks and worry warts on the surface.

Intellegence is the ability to adapt - but it is not a guarantee for the survival of the species

The whole idea that we only use part of our brain is an old wive's tale.
