I spent the last hour meditating and reached a conclusion.

Human life will never leave our own solar system. Undoubtedly we'll continue to make great scientific advances and discoveries about the nature and physics of our universe, but we will never go anywhere.

Discuss.

Because meditation has made Buddhist monks more technologically advanced than scientists

Eh, I'm sure there's something within a few hundred light years worth checking out. We won't be going there any time in the next 500 years, but if we manage to reach a point where interplanetary travel is cheap and commonplace, and we also manage to perfect hypersleep technologies, I can see some sort of expedition being mounted to a relatively nearby star system. It might even be colonized, although of course the colony would have to be totally self sufficient and would likely never have contact with the main branch of humanity.

Any sort of colony or expedition out of the solar system would have to be privately funded though, I can't see governments ever doing it.

We'll eventually be able to leave the Solar System; it will just take a really long time.

No rush though. The Solar System is great.

You're probably right, but we *might* develop warp drive in the near future (if that's even possible).

lol op is retarded

wait whats your argument?

The only thing that could prevent us from eventually leaving our solar system, be it in decades or centuries, would be our extinction.
