The things we as the “Human Race” can do when we come together almost like a hive mind… imagine we have galactic space travel by now…

We won't ever be able to go very far into space for a few reasons. Space, or rather the galaxies, are expanding away from eachother at about 1,300,000 mph. So even if we could somehow do the speed of light, you'd never catch up to most of the observable universe. We'll likely never leave the Milky Wayn

1000 years ago, humans couldn't cross oceans.

200 years ago, humans couldn't fly.

100 years ago, it was impossible to visit the Moon.

50 years ago, visiting Mars was something only a robot could do, and it wouldn't last long.

Now, after 50 years, we're going back to the Moon, this time to establish a base.

If humans can survive the next 1000 years without going through another dark age, we'll be able to leave the Solar System. In another 1000, we'll be able to navigate our spiral arm, maybe even the Milky Way Galaxy. It's just a matter of time, innovation and progress.

I believe both USA and China have plans to build bases on the moon. Or maybe USA and Russia. Or maybe I’ve been watching too much For All Mankind 🤔
