i think we would be taking over prety much any planet we reach in a few hundred years maybe? (humans the space rabbits?)Ummm... it didn't crash. Dumb.
Ha. Pretty epic stuff that we can do today with little to no budget.. imagine what we could do if we applied ourselves again to the space program.
(That's all nations not just us 'Mericans".)
I think my Casio Pathfinder watch has more computer power than Apollo or even the entire space program from that era. The problem is how we utilize this knowledge.... technology is to focused on comfort and entertainment and not exploration or even the human development.i think we would be taking over prety much any planet we reach in a few hundred years maybe?

didn't the apollo work with a computer that was weaker than any of our calculators now? or did i kill a few to much braincells with beer?
I once read somewhere,(not an exact quote, my memory sucks) "If we ever pass some lonely, empty planet with the remains of a civilization on it, we'll know that they chose not to go into space, that they chose to sit on their planet and work on smart watches and internet spaceships."I think my Casio Pathfinder watch has more computer power than Apollo or even the entire space program from that era.

Slight rant...
I recently wrote a thesis on the great population issue that is slowly coming to be on our amazing planet and the lack of the world powers to control or even capitalize on it. The end result from my research and readings though always point at either global sickness or expansion into space.... I hope we see ourselves moving that way as hinted on the Mars thread; but as long as morons are watching the Kardashians and not watching the stars (or a telescope, microscope, even a microchip) than more idiots will be made. I remember growing up watching NASA on TV.. boring hours wasted of satellite repair missions to being able to see shuttle launches. I'm trying to get my daughters into it and its hard... especially since NASA is basically non-existent and I find showing them underwater (getting them SCUBA camp... since space camp is umm.. yeah) to get that "what if" and that wonder in their brain. Hopefully it works for them.. just like videos like this and the idea of the Mars Mission will hopefully light the LED above others brain.
/end rant.
Yes I hope we start conquering.. I mean exploring and developing other worlds, moons, and the deep black and blue of space and the sea.... before I die... that would be cool. And a space beer station.... that too.
Then we will simply crash our Auroras into their ships, duh!I noticed a few comments on visiting or traveling to other planets but I fear we may bring the same environmentally destructive, perpetual conflict mind set that is presently destroying our planet. So the solution in Interstellar is to whisk off to another planet to save mankind? Sounds more like a spreading virus and if there is an intelligent/advanced civilization out there, I'm pretty sure they're not particularly keen on our expansion into the galaxy.
But I sure do love the pew pew and blowing things up. Doh!
When has human kind ever cared for what we may do to another species by it intelligent or not intelligent.
