esperwolf Posted June 2, 2012 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Fansinating I would love to venture to space. Problem though I won't have the cash to. Not only that wheres the warp speed and stuff.

Warp speed in your lifetime? Not unless physics is totally turned on it's head. Current theory forbids it. But getting to Mars needs a lot less than warp speed, and that could easily be achievable in the next few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
