Do you think Human Beings will ever perfect space travel?

[Skele]

We should see a lot of technological advances this century. Consider that we went from the use of horses, sail boats, letters for communication, etc, during the end of the last century to the ability to reach space and send information all over the world in real time by the end of the last. I think the concept is technological singularity. Apparently we are supposed to go through the equivalent of 19 centuries worth of technological and intellectual growth during this century. So who knows?

Anyways, they have theories for travelling through space that aren't quite science yet, but could get there. What we need to figure out: a way to travel faster than light, a way to propel ourselves without using propellants, and better ways to produce energy.

We need a WW3.

Between WW1 and WW2 the technology increased ten fold because we didn't focus research on leisure needs.

[IkeTheGeneric]

We dont need humans to perfect space travel when we have you ike

now get your ass into space

no

[Roknrollwill]

I believe gas will become an issue in the next few years :o

[Mr. Wuggle]

America's not sending any space shuttles into space guys.
Space stations, maybe.
Satellites, yes.

We're leaving the space travel to the Russians.

We're leaving the space travel to the Russians.

Which is the worst thing we can do. We developed some of our most powerful tech through the shuttle program.

Satellite doom laser in space is what we need.

[Man 2]

We just need to find the Prothean ruins on Mars. Then we'll be set for eternity.

[ZombieDude]

Satellite doom laser in space is what we need.

This isnt the loving future.

[Lørd Tøny]

This isnt the loving future.

But we need it to kill our enemies.

It's mainly a problem of supply and usage.

To travel at light speed, you need an infinite amount of fuel.

With warp speed, you still go about as fast, and it uses less fuel.

Food isn't unlimited ever though, that's a big problem.

We'd have to send enough food to last for the entire trip, then every day or every week or every month or something send enough food to last that amount of time, a big usage of money and also fuel.

You have to have enough fuel to get enough force to break through the atmosphere as well as the gravitational pull of Earth, we can do that today, but we use up too much of our fuel doing it.

We would need to seriously do some thinking and research before space travel is possible to the extent that we can actually inhabit other planets/moons.

Mars, for instance, would need to be terraformed to have Earth-like atmospheric properties, not an inexpensive task.

no

great you just doomed us all, thanks.

[TheArmyGuy]

I'm fourteen and know how spacetravel works.
You step inside the plastic airlock and use the plastic engines to go into space at supermagic speeds.

[naturemon]

What would happen if while delivering supplies to the moon colony...we had some technical issues and food was scarce..

[Decepticon]

How will we become extinct?

Nukes, Atomic Bombs, Aliens, etc, Barney, Tornadoes, Worlds Largest Hurricanes, etc,Etc.
