Would it be possible to travel to another solar system?
I’m not talking science fiction. I realize that our current propulsion capabilities make it impossible to travel there in one lifetime. but does anyone think that we have the capability to create a self sustaining colony vessle that will serve several generations and will travel to the nearest “earth like” planet. Do we have the energy resources, food development, and recycling capabilites?
Ok, I know this is a bit of a far fetched question but I was just curious.

Well, for starters, I am by no means a genius in this particular field but it is interesting to contemplate on this question. Let’s see: Rumors are about that we should just shut off the idea of ever going to space *humans at least* because of the negative health factors involved and the dangerous experimentation to even make it outside the earth ( like you know when the shuttle explodes). Now if we can get over this controversial but serious topic we might be able to make some good progress. Also we might need to make some drastic technological advances but if we pull this off then I don’t see why we couldn’t go……. I’m still kinda iffy though. Aren’t there like asteroids and BLACK holes out there. I, for one, wouldn’t really want to risk a butt load of ppl out there and have then exterminated. But thats just me.
