   In my opinion, interstellar space travel is, now and forever, a   
   technological impossibility.  No matter how advanced a civilization   
   becomes, F = ma will still be true, and so, getting from one place to   
   another (an interstellar transfer orbit) requires energy, lots of it.   
   The bigger the rocket, the more energy, the bigger the rocket, ..., if   
   you get my point here.   
      
   This is probably also the reason that human beings will never set foot   
   on the planet Mars.
