We will almost certainly all be dead before interstellar travel is a reality. When it does happen, though, we will have hundreds of billions of stars to choose from. This galaxy, Segue 2, only has ~3000 stars. Can you imagine spending centuries on the development of interstellar travel only to have a couple thousand possible destinations? Humanity did alright in the galactic lottery.

>Galactic lottery
Why do you assume it was random chance?
Why do you think God put us here? It was all planned
>>8801952
Once intergalactic travel is made possible we'll immortalize ourselves due to relativity
>>8801985
Even if that ever happens, wouldnt we be stuck in the local group due to universal expansion?
>>8801952
if humans actually put focus into science and technology then we can have interstellar within <50 years for sure
>>8801990
Bullshit. Haven't even managed to get a single colony on the Moon let alone any other planet in our Solar System and you think in 50 years we'll have people traveling to other stars?

I feel like one of the issues of the moon is mostly making sure we don't affect the gravitational effect it has on earth, we are mostly waiting. Marks is so large that we can inhabit it without any geophysical concerns, you have to understand that the rate that technology is developing is accelerating greatly, we have holograms and robots we can definitely travel as far as we want
>>8802005
you have to get the unsophisticated lollygagging of society out of the way
>>8802005
If all economic activity was directed towards the singular goal of "get off this rock and live on other rocks" then I'd say it was more than doable.
We don't spend most of our energy or resources doing that though, instead we spend our time playing grabass on Earth
>>8802031
we could focus on space travel and discovery and safety, sobriety, sustainability and overall health then it should be absolutely doable
>>8802031
Why is getting off this rock so important? Just need to cull the subhumans.
