Even at the speed of light, space travel isn't all that realistic. I guess it's good for a few stars around us, but much further than that you're looking into lifetimes to get anywhere.

Only truley efficient way to travel in space is how they do it in the movies. Warp drive/FTL/wormholes etc. Distances are just too vast.
i refuse to believe the whole notion that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. top scientists decades ago said the same thing about the speed of sound, and then centuries ago you had scientists claiming that the Earth was flat and was the center of the universe

just because we can't fathom how anything could go faster than light right now, doesn't mean future generations won't figure it out. and i firmly believe that with people as smart as Stephen Hawkings who are convinced that the only way to ensure humanity's survival is to spread into space, we'll get there eventually
