Cheap faster than light travel is just discovered to be possible and doable.

What is the reaction of the world, and where do we go first.

There is no reaction because we've rewritten all of history.

Assuming FTL drives were possible, their invention would mean the raising of Humanity into a higher epic -- spurring a golden age and furthering our expansion into the known Universe.

Truth be told, any change would be 20+ years out. You may see a small willingness to re-invest in space science, but ultimately, space travel costs start at the human level. Whether or not you can get to the closest star doesn't really matter if it still costs a fuckteen billion dollars to get a few tons into orbit.

The world ends shortly from war because offense just got a stupidly powerful buff. Nukes hitting before tracking stations even report they've left? Yeah, we're screwed.
