You will never travel in space.

Sure, but the solutions are up there you know...

I am in space. I am in time. I have and still am travelling it.

You will never travel at warp speed.

You will never fire laser guns.

You will never be able to travel in space.

How does that make you feel?

I have done these inside my head. And it's just as real.

1) No, if e=mc^2 holds true...you'll never travel at warp speed, but travelling at almost-lightspeed is more than enough to travel great distances in relatively small time periods... eg; at 99.9999999 % of light speed we can travel 3 million light years in 50 years because he faster you travel, the smaller the space you need to travel travel through becomes.. the less time that passes. my head hurts :(

2) buy a laser pointer!

3) I belive private companies such as spacex have started where nasa left off and with asteroid mining a possibility and space tourism a probability there may well be more widely available jobs and oppurtunities to explore space in a few decades

there is hope! :D

This video does a better job of describing my thoughts and feelings about this than I myself could:

How does it make me feel?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the odds are overwhelmingly in my favour. Biological immortality is inevitable. If I manage to avoid neural death by severe trauma a decade or two past the Singularity, and it's extremely I'll manage that, I'll be travelling in space.

I mean, fuck, that long after the Singularity I might just be the ship you guys are travelling on.

1. Scientists Get Light to Travel 300 Times Normal Speed Perhaps we can make use of this, perhaps not. 2. I have an idea for an actual laser weapon, involving at least a 500 Watt laser attached to, say, a car battery or other form of mass electricity storage. Not ideal for handguns but perfect for snipers. 3. Wanna bet?

I WILL travel in space!
If we want to get technical, I already am in space. Space extends to the ground. I guess the ground could be space too since it's just a bunch of atoms & stuff stuck together, I could fall right through it if I was small enough.

Thank goodness for quantum mechanics. -claps-
