Re: Star Trek
It will take another hundred years just to get to the nearest star.
That's way too optimistic in my opinion. And is there any point in going to Alpha Centauri? It's a binary star. Seems unlikely that there is anyplace to even land.
Edit
My bad. Alpha Centauri is not the closest star. There is an invisible red dwarf star near it that is slightly closer. Still not worth a human visit.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
