Do you think humans will ever space travel?

Question

I'm talking about humans, and life itself living on multiple planets and travelling to each of them like we travel to different countries in today's world. Kind of like Star Wars

Answer 1

if this world makes it that long

Answer 2

Not a chance.
It is theoretically possible, given some advances in technology and the commitment of much more money, labor, and resources to the project that has ever been spent in the entire history of civilization, to build a spacecraft that would carry humans to the stars. But getting them there would take decades at the bare minimum.

Even so much as radio communication between Earth and a colony would require enormous amounts of energy since the signal would become very attenuated during its four-year journey from the nearest star. It is safe to assume that Earth and its potential colonies will never even speak to each other, much less journey back and forth.

If the spacecraft was built and launched, there would be no guarantee that it would find any habitable planet to land on. The energy required to take our colonists on a one-way trip with an uncertain fate to a target ten light years away, at a speed of one tenth of the speed of light, and then to slow down and stop again, would be enough energy to sustain the United States for a thousand years.

Answer 3

No. Not like Star Wars. Ever. The laws of physics just doesn´t allow it although interstellar flight might be possible. It just won´t be simply a matter of programming the navicomp that controls the hyperdrive. That kind of travel would require more energy than what a star like the sun generates in its whole life. An interstellar journey would be a one way trip.

Answer 4

So you do not count the astronauts now in the space station, or the ones who fly in the shuttle or the Soyuz, or the Apollo astronauts who walked on the Moon?

Anyway, if we can ever fly to other stars in a few days like they do in the movies, it will be hundreds of years in the future, if ever. All the science fiction movies assume there is a way to travel faster than light, and we are not even sure it is theoretically possible to do that.

Answer 5

yes i think that we humans will travel to diffrent planets
the problem is that the length from one planet to another is very far but some sience people are building a cannon to put in outher space for fast transportation. and the second is that we havent know that other planets have oxygen that we can breath and water we can drink. so intell that found out them yea we will live among the other planets one day im sure of it

Answer 6

Well Einstein proved that it is impossible to get a human being to go the speed of light. Thus if you can not go the speed of light we would die b4 we reached other planets like in star wars. As for mars i think that's our best bet, but it will be far into the future. I'm sorry to say it but i doubt we will have the privilege to go to mars in our lifetime, but maybe our grandchildren.

Answer 7

Two things must happen:
1. Enormous leaps made in technology
2. Economic, political and social backing of the highest order.

With pollution, possible asteroid and comet impacts, nuclear war, over population, energy shortages, and food shortages looming in the not so distant future, I have to agree with Hawking that it is in more than our best interest to leave our planet in due time.

Answer 8

I would like to think so, but it would take too long, it isn't possible to go travel faster than the speed of light.

Answer 9

not if the world ends, like they said in 2012

Answer 10

NEVER! The Earths "vise like grip" won't allow it.
