I Am Fascinated By The Universe

[Bretrick]

Two months ago I asked a question on local radio and have it answered by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, Science Communicator.
I put to him the question, "Will humans every be able to travel outside our Solar System considering the enormous distances and our current speed of travel.
His short answer was YES.
Not with our current technology but when we can develop Nuclear Fusion Rockets that will enable speeds of up to 3000 km/second or 10 Million kmh.
Something to look forward to.

 

[Mr. Ed]

You should try the other one.

I've been fascinated with science all my life, read Einstein's biography when I was in grade school. Science Fiction has always been top on my list of favorites, in the entertainment category. However, my optimism for interstellar travel has waned...theoretical astrophysicists(I love 'em all) have such fun talking about wormholes, parallel universes and such, but I see Humanity confined to the Solar System in travels for a very long time.
