Either this or it still takes 38 years because of lack of fuel, using gravitational assists, etc.

Pretty much.

With the way technology is advancing, however, we may have crafts orbiting other stars within the next 50 years.

Coming close to breaking the speed of light is good enough to get to another star within the time it takes to get to Saturn.

On top of that, to be optimistic, Voyager was launched 38 years ago where technology was utter poop. We've advanced so much from then. My phone has more memory than Voyager, which is funny.

I dunno. I'm just trying to make both of us feel happier. We probably won't make it to another star and WON'T colonize anything out of our solar system for the next few hundred.

Gods above I hope someone takes the keyboard away from you. We're lightyears away from many planets which could hold life. far enough away that even if we could see those planets we would not see what life there could be on them. If you go far enough away from earth and look back we're still a volcano-covered rock with the mass of the moon that mars hasn't smacked away from us yet.

It assumes no new people are generated and that you can only come back as human. If you think about it, only a finite amount of things can be alive on earth at once.

[Anonymous No.6025100]

>>6025087
This. Also, the nature of reincarnation could also be something like some sort of neurological energy being sent out in a burst that spreads and is inherited by budding life and adds to it's perception of the world around it when it is essentially born. In effect you didn't become one new person, but rather your history was taken and spread amongst many new organisms.

>Perhaps the Voyager records will never be intercepted. Perhaps no one in five billion years will ever come upon them. Five billion years is a long time. In five billion years, all human beings will have become extinct or evolved into other beings, none of our artifacts will have survived on Earth, the continents will have become unrecognizably altered or destroyed, and the evolution of the Sun will have burned the Earth to a crisp or reduced it to a whirl of atoms.
Far from home, untouched by these remote events, the Voyagers, bearing the memories of a world that is no more, will fly on.

On the other hand, colonizing Australia made it a first world country. Same with the US.
I guess it depends if there are a lot of natives and on who colonizes it: thus a small chance a colonized moon or Mars turns into a shithole.
