When will we reach the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, another star and another galaxy...

INTRODUCING THE WARPSHIP




the warpship would effectively be "surfing" on a spacetime wave to achieve faster-than-light-speed travel.

Until now, there has been little idea about what a spaceship propelled by a warp drive (or a warpship) would look like. Would it resemble the sleek Starship Enterprise? Or will it be like nothing we've seen before?

After speaking with Dr. Richard Obousy, he shared his concept for a futuristic, yet scientifically accurate, warpship design.

The physics behind the warpship is purely theoretical, however. 'Dark energy' needs to be understood and harnessed, plus vast amounts of energy needs to be generated, meaning the warpship is a technology that could only be conceived in the far future. That said, Dr. Obousy's warpship design uses our current knowledge of spacetime and superstring theory to arrive at this futuristic concept.

So here's your exclusive look at what could be the future warp drive propulsion...

Look,

remember the human Race is only thousands of years old.


Yes the Human race is going to start to De -Evolve after a couple of million years into the future.

Yes It is like a graph, we will peek and then Slump is inevitable .

Go on, put your scifi heads on and predict how many years till:-
- A human lands on the Moon again
- A human lands on Mars
- A human reaches Jupiter (Arthur C Clarke said we'd already be there :))
- A probe or human reaches another star
- A probe or human reaches another galaxy

Well when we finally find the Stargate in antartica, these things will all occur rather quickly :)
 
Did anyone notice that bright star last night to the south? That was Jupiter, look out for it tonight.
 
- A human lands on the Moon again - bypass the moon
- A human lands on Mars - we have the tech. now but it probably about fueling and money etc so i'd say 25 Years
- A human reaches Jupiter - 55 Years
- A probe or human reaches another star - 200 Years
- A probe or human reaches another galaxy - they will probably come to us before we get to them
 
Can't remember if it was this thread or another one, we were talking about relativity. Just rewatching Stephen haw kings universe and it goes through it. Travelling at 99% speed of light would mean for every one hour passed on the ship, one day would pass on earth, with this you could travel to the edge of the galaxy in just 80years.

Wonder what the time difference is at say 95%. 75%, 60%
 
- A human lands on the Moon again - 7 Years, 3 Months, 21 days
- A human lands on Mars - 10 Years, 1 Months, 3 days
- A human reaches Jupiter - 13 Years, 3 Months, 18 Days
- A probe or human reaches another star - 29 Years, 11 months, 14 Days
- A probe or human reaches another galaxy - 164 Years, 7 Months, 12 Days

No Hours? or Minutes?

Im sorry i cant wait for this nonsense. :p

No. We are about 25,000 light years from the edge of the galaxy. At 99% speed of light it would take 99% of 25,000 years to get there (24,750 years). The only difference relativity would make is that to an observer on Earth it would seem to take a lot longer. If your 1 hour = 1 day relationship is accurate it would appear to an observer on earth that the journey would take 594,000 years.
 
Theres still so many problems preventing getting to Mars, never mind somewhere further. It’s a 2 year round trip which means 2 years of food, 2 years of water and 2 years of waste storage (although it has been suggested that human solid waste could be used as a radiation shield as it has better shielding properties than the stuff they currently use lol). Urine can be and is desalinated and filtered so that it can be re-consumed.

Someone needs to create some form of artificial mavity before long journeys can be considered though because of the devastating effect that zero mavity has on your body, its not so much muscle wastage that’s the problem but bone wastage. Some of NASA’s bods have suggested that the astronauts who go to mars will suffer 20-25% + bone loss during the travel there and back and will be unable to stand up on earth upon their return.

I’ve just finished an excellent book on the whole subject called packing for mars which looks at the experiments that have been done to get us where we are today and what’s being done o get us to mars. Its written in a very funny way, especially the part about the early Apollo missions and escaping poo that cause the astronauts to be lolling their heads off whilst trying to talk to Houston (all caught on tape and transcripted )

You made a minor mistake there and missed a step. You cannot slow down your speed and get to the destination faster. 99% has to take longer than 25,000 years not less. EDIT: Plus just to be awkward which edge of the galaxy is 25,000 light years away? isn’t one edge much closer to use then the other edge.
