So I guess I'm one of those downers that thinks nothing has been here. I don't believe nothing with mass can travel faster than light, which is the biggest barrier for interstellar travel IMO, but it got me thinking...
What if we created a warp drive and could travel faster than light? Is there orders of magnitude faster than light? Is it instantaneous? Can you see where you are going? How do you know where to stop or slow down because you are going faster than light? And this is just for galactic travel. What about intergalactic travel? You should be able travel galaxies going faster than light. What about the space expanding between the galaxies. Now you have to contend with that.
Another one is wormholes. Lets say we can create one. Where do you create it to? How do you know where the destination opening is? How can you make it open relative to where you are were you make it go where you want?
