Will we ever explore space? I dream about riding in a spaceship

>wanting to be stuck in a small cramped vessel with other people
possible yes, but why would you want to. it'd be like being put in a submarine with other people and there is no getting out.

Not for us probably

Unless there's some magic atoms lying around which lets us travel faster than light, the majority of people will spend a good chunk of their lives on a space ship and barely leave the solar system.

So if being trapped in a metal tube in tight quarters with a bunch of normies with nothing to do but exercise on shitty equipment sounds like fun to you, have at it

maybe in a few 100 years from now. we have been talking about walking on mars. i hope to be like the characters like on the show futurama. people and aliens are able to move solar systems.

This is why I think a massive colony ship with artificial gravity should be constructed in outer space. Then even though it travels slowly people could run somewhat normal lives, guaranteed jobs in operation, maintenance, and running of the ship. Some manufacturing for parts replacements, electronics would be the hardest part but additive manufacturing for others would be somewhat simple. also doctors and such.
sure you're stuck on a ship for a while but trying to make it into as normal of a condition as possible even if it means traveling longer, current iteration of ships would never make it without having a huge stress and break down on people

that and it'd make food production easier with artificial gravity. i just don't understand why people don't want to build a large self sufficient artificial eco system like colony ships to go explore the universe. practically all the technology already exists, it'd just be like building ships to go explore in the past before things were mapped and charted out like columbus. except a little more refined
