Not really news, but an interesting article that sums up a lot of the thoughts I have on space travel and such.
I'm as hopeful as anyone, but really unless there's a game-changing discovery like free energy from the vacuum or something there are huge hurdles to getting out there in a bigger way.

That's pretty much how I feel about it too and why I doubt that we are being visited.
I always figured that our best shot at space colonization would be to send our genome and genetic material to different star systems, along with a DVD (or Blueray disc) about who we are and hope that some alien race decides to "create" us in their systems. Being humans, it would only be a matter of time until we decided to conquer them (or try). Of course, those humans probably wouldn't care about Earth any more and for all intents and purposes, would be "aliens" to us.
