:wstupid: Yeah, just what I said... only with more specifics. ;) I said it earlier in the thread: The logistics would be a total nightmare. However: If the Earth was in some catastrophic imminent danger, I'm pretty sure we'd make it work somehow i...  [Read More]

Nobody's saying to not investigate this guy's theories... just not to count on this to be a quick process. Even if all his theories are eventually proven to be true (a process, if you do it correctly, that could take years or even decades in itself....  [Read More]

Well, if you want to live to see it done within your lifetime, that would justify the hurry. I don't think I'll ever live to see humans get much farther than Mars at best before my clock winds down. Even if by some miracle we find a workable hyperd...  [Read More]

Well then, we keep coming back to the issue of solving the world's problems first, before we head out and make them the galaxy's problems. If the entire planet needs to work together to make these things a reality then that's still a pretty big thing...  [Read More]

Overdue? The internal combustion engine is less than 200 years old. Air flight 100 years. Manned rocketry and space flight less than 50. Reusable space platforms less than 30 (within my lifetime... and we have had serious problem with it as it is.)...  [Read More]

But Heim's idea is still just a theory, as promising as it might seem to be. Maybe parts of it could be true, but it may not fully pan out the way you think. Or it could end up being fully disproven. We simply don't know yet, it's way too early to te...  [Read More]

Personally, I believe you to be far too optimistic in the time window for this, Windu... There too far many problems to take care of at home first before we can even think of extra-solar explorations. Not the least of which is the current socio-poli...  [Read More]
