No doubt that sometime in the not too distant future we will be traveling to the planets and moons of our solar system. What I am wondering is if we will ever discover a means to get to even the closest star with planets that might support life.<br /><br />Oh I know we have the capability to make one way trips with generation ships and that is good if we ever need to make the trip due to an impending disaster. But will we ever invent, discover or be given the capability of inter stellar flight where we can go somewhere and get back before everyone we know is dead and buried. By watching Sci-Fi TV and movies we have come to expect that this is possible but is it really?<br /><br />I'd like to read some of the other members thoughts on this subject. Will we develope the technology to explore our galaxy in person or will we have to be satisfied just to sit here and watch what happened tens, hundreds and thousands of years ago through our telescopes? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em><font size="2">Bob DeWoody</font></em> </div>
