   Collision Avoidance Is The Word For The Day. That means, though there   
   are all these countries on this planet, who may have developed space   
   craft propulsion technology, to avoid collisions with everything out   
   there, the space debris, other planets, and so on, when traveling at   
   speeds beyond the speed of light, you're going to need a pretty good,   
   well mapped out and organized understanding of our universe. These   
   countries with their space craft, such as Belgium, Germany, or   
   Austria, and now China, and of course the USA, may all have secret   
   space programs, secretly budgeted for but if they don't have a way of   
   mapping out every stone, and grain of sand floating around in our   
   universe, traveling along at beyond light speed is going to be an   
   awfully risky proposition.   
      
   Good seamanship begins with good navigational charts and a clear   
   understanding of what to avoid. Without a navigational system for the   
   solar system, than this entire galaxy, and then, eventually, our whole   
   universe, taking into account every other object out there, all of   
   them, and that is an awful lot of objects, space crafts are playing it   
   risky flying blind, as it were.   
      
   Someone or some group of people will have to develop a space based   
   sonar / radar like warning system that covers light years of   
   territory, especially in the direction you are headed. This system   
   must also aid in the cataloging of all objects in our universe.   
   Without it, you are flying blind.
