Weird how you thought of this yesterday and this just comes up on the news feed - https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/techandscience/nasa-to-test-nuclear-rockets-that-could-fly-astronauts-to-mars-in-record-time/ar-AA16H22U?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=83e7df7f51744470b45e8dfe0af046a9

I was thinking more along the lines of local travel or even a generational colony ship in that time frame. I think we are very long way from interstellar travel.

Like I've said earlier in another comment I'm just a dreamer who wants to see the start of it before I die.

Your assessment is probably way more accurate than mine. I am a bit of a "fan boy" when it comes to getting out there and exploring. I just hope I get to see the start of it before I vacate the mortal world.

Maybe, I don't know. I just have an exciting feeling that over the next couple of years things are going to move a bit more quickly in terms of space exploration. Can't explain it it's just a feeling I have.

Wishful thinking more than likely but a guy can dream.

12 years. We will have something resembling sci fi space travel by 2035 I think. Some scientists have built and are working on ion engines already. That's a huge step in the right direction. Once we have the science of time in space figured out the galaxy will be our oyster.
