But the technology won't come unless we make it if everyone just waited for the train or the car we wouldn't have them just my thoughts on the matter

I like scifi as a film medium, but warp drive doesn't exist, or functional wormholes ( theory suggests as soon as matter is put in they collapse), and they are just theoretical themselves.
Pipe dream, as unfortunately is expecting humans to live together in harmony. I'd give humanity 20 years to start another world war..... Now we've got nukes, its an old technology and despotic governments and states are acquiring them.
Got to get imaging before the nuclear winter begins and I can't see the stars anymore.
When Stephen Hawkins says Space he doesn't just mean we have to live in space stations he means other planets as well I think
