I can never have a proper conversation with too many people on the impossibility of space travel outside of our solar system. I will too often hear, "We may be surprised how far technology can go!" when I bring up how not only is faster than light travel highly unfeasible, but even getting somewhere close to it.

And keep in mind that even if we can get some object to travel near light speed, we have to account for human limits when dealing with transporting people.

@houseoftolstoy On a scale of thousands of years it seems likely that we'll eventually send people or people-like engineered organisms outside the solar system as popsicles for absurd lengths of time. Anything like Star Trek isn't likely.

@Zettour I see that as possible, though such an undertaking should be seen as something that has little chance of success in terms of having that life reach a habitable planet.
