Interstellar Travel

           When thinking about the possibility of doing interstellar travel, there is a factor called the "giggle factor." It almost seems impossible to physically do it considering the vast distance it would take to travel. One reason is that humans can't physically travel faster than the speed of light with the equipment we have. This is called the Special Relitivity (1905) stating, "no usable information can travel faster than light locally, and hence it would take centuries to millennia for an extra-terrestrial civilization to travel between the stars". Just the stars we see at night are about 50 to 100 lights years from earth compared to the Milky Way Galaxy being about 100,000 light years across on a bigger scale. Also the nearest galaxy closest to the Milky Way is 2 million lights years away. This is the reason that scientists here on earth consider Interstellar travel to be almost impossible to do. The only possible solution to this problem would be engineering some kind of spacecraft with materials from another world. The only problem to this is that no planets have been detected with intelligent alien life that have this knowledge. Who knows though? Maybe someday in the near future humans will invent intelligent technology way past our current knowledge today. And travel places no one has gone before!
