That's nice.

I'm "parroting", but eveyone else here is progressive in their embrace of the new fronntier, eh?

Labeling someone a "parrot" because they refer to the proven laws of physics, and not current unproven theoretical hypotheses is a bit shortsighted.

If you disagree with me, and have factual reasons rather than an emotional attachment to the "idea" of interstellar travel, then please provide them; or simply be polite in said disagreement.

The reason I can say this is I used to hold this exact same view until about three years ago, when I started reading Hawking and realized that Einstein was not the be-all and end-all of advanced physics.
I never said he was. Indeed, I simply made passing reference to the EPR Paradox, which I stated was refuted.

Also, I find myself shocked to agree with Ustwo, but I can console myself with the fact that I think NASA should be funded by heavily taxing the wealthy.
Funny.

Especially rich Doctors, eh?

Just kidding Ustwo!
