Re: OT: future of a manned space exploration.
When you think about the possibility of man in space, going faster than the speed of light, and people say it will never happen, I point out the simple historical fact that 1,000 years ago, the thought of man flying, let alone walking on the moon was unthinkable.
1,000 years ago we had to walk. A 2,000 mile trip would take 6 months.
500 years ago we had sailing ships. A 2,000 mile trip would take 6 weeks.
100 years ago we had cars. A 2,000 mile trip would take 6 days.
50 years ago we had propeller airplanes. A 2,000 mile trip would take about 16 to 24 hours.
Today we have jet air craft. A 2,000 mile trip takes 2 hours.
If we survive, think how fast we will be going in another 100 years.
