This subject has been bugging me quite a bit lately. When I was younger I used to take it for granted that by the time I'm older humanity will have cured aging and would one day have reached the level of technology required to travel and explore our galaxy (think Star Trek or Mass Effect).
As I have grown older I've come to face the facts. Even if we do acquire some means to immortality it would never be used for various reasons and theoretically it seems to be impossible to reach a speed faster than light, regardless of the level of technology our
race has at it's disposal.
What's even worse is that humanity seems to have completely abandoned the dream of space,
setting even Mars, which isn't that far away, as a hard to reach goal and considering the
newest gadget which can access twitter "State-of-the-art technology". In fact, Obama
scrapped the whole Constellation Project and nobody gave a damn, people care more about
his god damn birth certificate.
I may be giving too much thought into this but this seems to be one of the few rare things
that I do care about in my life, maybe some of you share my opinion, time to find out.
