I am hopeful that some day we will discover some means to travel between the stars in reasonable amounts of time. But it's not likely to happen in any of our lifetimes. Centuries, maybe many centuries. But if we decide it's not possible and stop dreaming and looking for ways, it will never happen. I will be happy if in my lifetime the prospect of space tourism becomes a possibility for more then just the idle super-rich. I'd like to take a ride in a rocket some day.
