I always keep a close eye on this kind of stuff. Every couple of years rocket propulsion technology is getting a little faster and a little faster. Be interesting to see where we are in another 50 years.

RayI'll be in my grave :lmao:

But yes, it is all interesting stuff!

On Star Trek Voyager tonight it was the episode where they found Amelia Earhart and some other Earthlings on a planet. When Tom Paris told them that they can now travel at Warp 9.9 the guy said 'how fast is that?'. Tom answered "in your understanding, that is 4 billion miles a second".

I don't think we'll EVER get that fast, but I reckon it will be mind boggling what is around the corner in Space Travel.
