Unless by some miracle we figure out how to warp travel in the next hundred years or so, we're going to die staring at the sky. Heck I'd be surprized if we even see the day man lands on Mars, much less a planet in another solar system. Maybe I'm just missing the point.

And thats why we need to develop effective space based weapons, so that we can explore strange worlds, seek out new lives and civilizations, and then exterminate them and take their planets.
