Interplanetary space travel should be feasible. It is mainly a matter of investing the resources to do it.
Interstellar travel is another matter. Unless you can be completely sure a target world can support life, multigeneration ships seem to me to be impracticable, and likely would be even if you were sure a planet can support life.
Is fast then light travel possible? Maybe, as I doubt Einstein is the last word. We will have to see.

I think that interstellar travel via traditional means(rocket ship/shuttle) is inherently flawed and is doomed to fail as a viable method of exploring the universe. There may be a better way, but we most likely lack the technology. Maybe space travel requires some exotic new theory that uses another version of mathematics and logic other than the traditional forms that we use today...

I think it's possible. We don't need lightspeed. It'll be like Robotech. We just need a big ship, self sufficient, with homes, power plants, etc inside to support life. We already have that in space, the space station, except it's stationary. Just put some engines in. But basically, you won't make it to the new planets, but your great great great grandchildren will.

sure, i think of this is emotionally actual simply by fact the fictitious thoughts are in line with actual ones even in spite of the indisputable fact that the strikes are not actual. a million) are you so into anime you view fact as fictional? i each each now and then do yet a large number of the time manga and anime is the thank you to flee from the bitter fact (jap lotus completely suggested what i desire to declare). interior me, i comprehend life isn't as basic as manga and anime illustrate it besides the indisputable fact that it does not harm have a fantasy specifically circumstances good? considering life too no longer basic each each now and then *sigh* 2) describe your thoughts whilst human beings say anime is "no longer actual" and its purely fabricated? i've got faith kinda unhappy that i will would desire to stand fact now that somebody has suggested it yet i'd be ask your self and indignant that they do exactly no longer understand the way painful this is for the different individual once you factor it out like that. this is in comparison to i do no longer understand this is not any longer actual, this is purely that i take advantage of it as the thank you to disclaim unpleasing issues around me. 3) ? 4) honestly! this is kinda humorous in spite of the indisputable fact that :D

I agree it looks bad for interstellar travel, but we have already been to the Moon, and that IS real space flight.
But do not give up! Travel to the Moon would have seemed as impossible to Galileo then as interstellar travel does to us today. Who knows what may be invented in 400 years!

IN 1896, the Patent Office Secretary proposed that we close the patent office - because "everything that *could* be invented *has* been invented..."
There will always be short-sighted people. It's a shame, because the rest of us striving for what's impossible right now find them really annoying & a hindrance to the future.

Just because we will never achieve speed-of-light travel doesn't mean we can't perfect some kind of viable planetary vehicles.
And we have them now (though we haven't sent a human to another world) - we have successfully sent several ships to Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and soon Pluto.

where there is a will there is a way however if your thinking of space travel think solar wind and a clipper ship as far as a drive for interplanetary trip,s and anything beyond that i would think hydrogen as a fuel source

Well, your conclusion is as good (or as bad) as anyone else's.
