Yes.

It took about 100 years to go from the first powered flight to the Moon. In a 1000 years we will have reached the stars a hundred times over (unless we are all dead).

There are only two known feasible power systems that will allow us to reach the stars within this time frame - Nuclear (Fission or Fusion) and Matter/Anti-Matter.

In the 1950's proposals were put forward for Nuclear fission powered space flight. If we had chosen this route instead of 'fireworks' (sorry I mean chemical fueled rockets) for the trip to the Moon we might have been on our way to the stars already.

Why ponder on such things beyond our short lifetime? But it's good/pratical to be analytical, taking what techonology we now use, view such techonology in the approaching 5 to 10 years from now and projecting how that technology will be applied years on DURING our lifetime.

Given that said: it's a safe bet we won't see galatic travel in our lifetime. Mankind will probably see such travel probably sooner than 1000 years from now; my guess is about 400 years or so from now.

nowadays people are going to space as picnic tour.very sure we will go beyond solar system and even to sun after 55 million years b'coz life time of sun is only 55 million years.
but many conditions are there
1] fuels must be there
2]energy must be there
3]earth must be there
4]human being must be there!!!

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Oh wait, we'll all be dead.
