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.

I apologize for my tone. It was completely unwarranted.
Einstein's Theory of Relativity can hardly be considered a proven law of physics. It's not as if I'm arguing against gravity here. No one knows anything about the fundamental nature of the universe -- it's all unproven hypotheses. I am not attached to the idea of interstellar travel; I don't give a crap about leaving the planet. I think not funding NASA because you don't think we can reach another solar system is pretty crazy, if only because space exploration has helped advance other fields -- how many products designed for space travel have been made part of our everyday lives?
