Remember, Ziggy, that humanity has managed to achieve every advancement we have dreamed of. Humanity wanted to travel by sea and the boat was invented. Humanity wanted to ease the labor of hauling heavy stuff and invented the wheel, the chariot, the cart, the train, the truck, and the car. Humanity wanted to fly and invented the zepplin, blimp, hot air ballon, and plane. Humanity wanted to ease labor in general and invented the industrial process, automation, and now robotics. Humanity wanted to reach for the stars and invented the suborbital and orbital rockets, the space shuttle, space stations, and interplanetary probes. One day, as long as the dream is kept alive by people like you, humanity will achieve FTL travel!!!
