🚀✨ Ever wondered why we're not zooming through the galaxy, hopping from star to star like it's no big deal? Well, "The Problem With Interstellar Travel" dives deep into the reality behind the sci-fi dreams of voyaging through the cosmos. From the daring explorations imagined in movies to the cutting-edge achievements of probes like NASA's Parker Solar Probe, we're on a quest to uncover what it truly takes to journey between the stars.
As we unravel the challenges of space travel at unimaginable speeds and distances, we'll explore the ethical dilemmas of generation starships and the breathtaking possibilities that lie within our own Milky Way. But it's not all smooth sailing; the vast distances and the haunting silence in response to the Fermi Paradox leave us pondering our place in the universe.
Are we on the brink of becoming a spacefaring civilization, or is interstellar travel a dream that will remain just out of reach? Join us as we confront the significant hurdles and marvel at the ingenuity of human progress, all while navigating the complexities of venturing to the stars. It's a journey through the cosmos you won't want to miss. Buckle up for an enlightening ride into the future of space exploration. 🌌🛸

That 7000 years was like knife to the gut. Basically without teleportation we're useless. Excellent video.
-
The “25 Milky Ways away” description actually makes Andromeda sound really close.
-
How is being born on a generational starship without a choice any different from being born anywhere else? As far as I can recall I wasn't given a choice in the matter of my birth.
-
We can not even build a pencil sharpener that will last 700 years let alone a generational ship that is required to last 7000 years.

Theses are my favorite types of videos. Just more reason to respect and love our Earth Mother and each other... because its all we have.
-
Just put the ship into 'Ludicrous speed' then go into 'Plaid' and you'll get there in a jiffy :)
-
Imagine a movie about a generation starship that travels interstellar space, that’ll be so fun to watch
-
Excellent video. Thanks for not using text-to-voice software which always makes videos sound so "robotic".
-
I need a drink after watching this. Join me? Excellent video!
-
I love the MASS EFFECT 3 the stories that come from the human mind!!
-
2:00 - Sounds like Starship Earth.... That's basically what we're doing but we don't have a destination, at least one that we know of. LoL 😆
-
This explains why we haven't met extraterrestrials. No one can master interstellar travel.
-
This is, and always has been, a very exciting topic. This video is really interesting with some numbers but not over burdened.
-
Scenario B was very eloquently described in an old sci-fi short story called "Far Centaurus" (I do not remember by whom). It's been years since I read it, but I still remember it.
-
So we build a ship that gets us to another star system in 7,000 years. In 300 years we figure out how to travel light speed, in 500 years we figure out warp drive to do multiples. Do we stop at the ship that only made it. 300 years, pick up their descendants and let them know their sacrifices were in vain?
-
The Earth, solar system, and milky way are already travelling in space at amazing speeds
-
One of my best sci-fi movies of all time. Raises loads of mind boggling questions I still ponder on till date 😊
-
The scenario at 3:20 was predicted in Heinlein’s JA novels- technology jumped over the science in effect when the plans started
-
Seems we gotta start taking care of our planet 😮
