Probably never. The forcefield is more of a pipe dream then people realize. Currently it doesn't look promising for the Star Trek sci-fi forcefield to be a reality. Seeing how the holodeck as seen in the show is the product of holograms and forcefields, you seem to be out of luck on this one.zfactor said:
Virtual reality however might be possible, and the more we learn about how the brain works the closer to reality it might become.
I think we need to pour everything the US has into more research of the aging process. We have had some very significant breakthroughs in animal testing recently, and I think it would a great way to flip the rest of the world the bird if we figured out how to basically halt the aging process and all lived for several centuries, while the rest of the world tried desperately to figure out how we did it. We could just say to each new generation "Ha, there you where thinking you where so superior, now who only gets to live for 70 or so years. You that's who."
At this stage, making the gap between "We went to the moon five times over 40 years ago" to "We are travelling to another galaxy" is like comparing "I have taken my first step" and "I have circumnavigated the globe by the energy of my eyelashes alone" when you're the size of a bug.Crazy_Dude said:
It's not exactly all that simple to up-and-do an adventure of that scale, expense in terms of money aside.
Assuming it was implemented overnight, as opposed to being argued in political and legal realms in terms of profit, patents, distribution rights, and the power it would grant sovereign states with the capability of nigh-limitless cheap energy.Talshere said:

I know its hard to do and perhaps a 100 years from now we still wouldnt have done it. However space travel is important it helps us understand the universe and check the bounderies of our galaxy. But China/India will perhaps pass America in space travel its time for another superpower to take the next step. (Aka Mars)
Exploration, maybe. But habitation and consequent colonization? No.Crazy_Dude said:
Just in terms of our local little third rock from the sun, the surface of Mars makes Antarctica look like Vermont in the summer, in terms of temperature and humidity. If we aren't making ready use of Antarctica, the landmass larger than United States and Mexico combined, then what use would anyone have with Mars, let alone an extrasolar planet or moon?

But me an energy collector of some sort. so we can put it the sky and collect lightning. where we could collect all forms of lightning. Such as elves, sprites and dwarves* and the other types such as C2G and C2C lightning
