I doubt mankind will ever get out of our own galaxy never mind traveling to other ones.

Disagree. 100 years ago nobody envisioned the internet, cell phones, nanotechnology, etc. The pace of new inventions and technology usage is accelerating. Billions more people, some of them worth the oxygen they use, are getting access to education and information, which will spur innovation. I think pretty much anything we can imagine right now will ultimately happen.

Simple statistics: If a thing is a billion to one (even if you could accurately calculate that) it becomes inevitable given enough time.

Just build a turbocharger for that piece of shit spaceship

If we're going to do something we have about 3 billion years to do it. The Andromeda galxay will collide with ours, it's 2.2 million light years out closing at 310,000 miles per hour. And it's bigger than ours

Fuck them! Who the hell are they! Bring it on. We may be smaller, but we can take 'em!!!

I should be safe then I will only live for another 2,942,345,100 years

It's a tough call, will man be around long enough to manufacture something capable of this? We're approx 26,000 light years from the center of our galaxy, which is 250-300 thousand light years in diameter. Even at light speed no one can make it out in a life time. Light speed and some kind of cryo unit would be needed. Even then once they make it out the Earth might not even exist anymore to have someone to report home to

When you get up to light speed doesn't mass start turning into energy? When I took physics that was what my teacher was saying.
