How would it benefit who? Those who are left behind will never know about it. Those who embark on the trip will not see the end. What such travel will require is taking a colony for a journey and pray that that colony can survive it.

At the moment we are all together on a single planet, if someone does something silly to destroy it, that will be the end of the human race. We should spread out and colonise other worlds to insure the survival of, not only our lives but the lives of other creatures that share this world. I am sure that if we sat down and shared our ideas we would find that we have the knowledge to build reliable safe space transportation system that would also relieve the pressures on this world. If we continue to populate without anywhere to go we will be on each others nerves and the media will have a whole heap of gruesome bad news stories 24/7. Do we really want this kind of future? Not me. Ask me, I'll share what i know? See page 11 It's kind of true. But the patient system started by the Dutch around the 17th century does not allow all people to do all things, does it now?

I think we should wait until we've got interstellar or even just manned interplanetary flight before worrying about intergalactic flight.

I think we've got enuff to play with here in our good old MilkyWay..... like the other poster said, it would take so long to get to another one, no one would ever know about it, no one who set out, anyways.....
