acutally as I´ve said before... FTL travel doesn´t need to happen for us to clonize the galaxy. I´d say in a couple hundred years MAX technology will be developed enough to enable us to build giant ship that can travel at sub-light speeds and carry a couple 10-thousand people to the nearest solar systems. And if you give those people there say 100 years and then have them send out more ships... you could colonize the entire galaxy in a couple 100-thousand years... if we never develop FTL travel.
so the real question is: why hasn´t anyone done it yet

) how come I don´t have a weird little green man for my neighbour... no wait I do.. at least the weird part
