Idea of searching for other planets that may support our future need not depend on the ability to get in a short period of time. So what if it takes 10000 years to reach that destination. It is easier to build a huge spaceship that can support a thousand generations of humans than trying to beat the speed of light.

was just reading about this, article questioned whether it would be ethical to 'condemn' your kids to being stuck in a tin can(as someone here put it) for the rest of their life(and their kids), never being to see greens and experience life on earth

anyway, this month's discover magazine(or was it next month, i dunno my college library sometimes get mags a week early), features space/space travel, very interesting read
