The Final Frontier.

I don't know, but I hope we do. Thinking about all the things we've achieved as a race that were once thought impossible I can't help hoping that we manage it one day.
 
Yes but not for a very very long time. I think we will accomplish pretty much everything. Seen the rate of change over the last 100 years. As technology gets better, our understanding and progress only speeds up. Hopefully soon we will have super computers that don't just crunch problems. but actually design products in an animal evolution like way. Give it our current understanding of physics and materials and let it loose. Slowly evolving inefficient devices into something much better.

That's probably worded horiably. but hopfully you understand.
 
well we'll have to see what the voyager probes encounter as they leave the solar system and if they can survive it.
 
It all depends on whether or not some form of FTL travel is possible, because frankly the idea of cryo-stais or generational ships just doesn't appeal. And without that, space is just too damn big to be explored in human-scale lifetimes.
 
I think the answer would be eventually as well, whatever the means of travel as there will always be adventurous people who want to see what's over the next hill no matter how long it takes.

Edit: Snap! Mr Clark.

History.

It may take a long time but I beleive one day we might just make it. It's like powered flight; 1000 years ago it was nothing but a pipe dream, but now it's a common concept. I beleive the same is true of interstellar space travel and that given the time, the resrouces and the motivation (something which I think humanity has certianly never lacked when striving to explore), we will achieve it to some degree.

There's always adventurers and generational or cryo-stasis is a big possibility.
 

Someday it'll happen, things just eventually progress, smarter people new technologies different ways of looking at things and solving problems.
 
nope, not with our current level of technology and i doubt for it'll happen in the foreseeable future, there's a lot of things that'll need to happen first including:
better ways to recycle oxygen
better ways to store, produce and manage food
a way to economically and realistically develop a way of producing an artificial level of mavity
and a much more viable fuel source and a way for it to enable higher speeds of travel
we also have a massive amount to accomplish on our current home before we even begin to think about life outside

and lastly (although there is more) we'll need phasers and photon torpedoes :D
 
No. The distances involved make any meaningful journey impossible without travelling at speeds ludicrously faster (you win an internets if you get the reference) than light, which as far as we're [currently] concerned is not possible. Better get used to living here and/or terraforming solar planets!

But there is nothing stopping you going around it. Using things like wormholes. Or using generational ships/cryostasis. There will always be adventurers who would leap at such missions.
