NASA is working on warp drives

I live in houston

I mean we aren't some advanced civilization capable of leaving the solar system; yet alone past the moon.

We've been to mars.

twice.

on mars right now.

unless you mean humans.

then no.

your right.

[Night Fox]

Sounds like we would reach endgame fast and get bored of living.

yeah, honestly FTL travel is like pretty to close to what will probably be the top tier of technology
only a few things I can think of that could further it, like galaxy-scale creation, including life

There is a stuffload of space to explore. Even with FTL capability it would take decades upon decades of nothing but pure space exploration to put a resonable dent in the observable universe, and that's not including travel time.

The only reason we don't have men on mars is because it takes so loving long and the life support systems+the return trip would cost a lot more than just sending a robot.

this. which also makes me wonder about the whole Moon situation, weve been on it, why aren't we going back for more?

I ment humans. not probes or rovers.
we've already covered that phase of space travel.

When we're old we'll tell our kids "back in my day vehicles never went over 300 mph!"

because there is nothing there, it's just dust and rocks.

the moon is old news.

That's kind of interesting to me as well. It could be the cost: it takes thousands and thousands of dollars to send a single pound of material into space with our bullstuff chemical rockets. The first thing we need to do to step off Earth is design a better propulsion method.

You can't even settle on the moon because loving meteors would eventually smash the base to stuff.

I would suggest point defense, but with no atmosphere that would turn a slug into buckshot. I couldn't imagine a meteor strike on the particular piece of land that the base is on being very likely, though.

the only reason our planet isn't visibly cratered like the moon is because of erosion

No, the only reason our planet isn't cratered at all is because meteors burn in out atmosphere and rarely hit the surface. The last meteor that caused serious damage that hit our planet was in the Ukraine, and i'm pretty sure it actually exploded and burned up before it actually made contact. The moon has no atmosphere and meteors hit it all the time.
