User blog comment:PitaKang/Funday Monday 3: What would an interstellar civilization look like?/@comment-4206034-20130501065435

It is an interesting idea. But you need to see that humans are explorers. Da Vinci first drew up flying aircraft in the 15th Century (our journeys into space using rockets). It took 5 centuries to actually make a practical flying model and a bit more after that to get to the level of a space plane.

It took a long time, but we got there. This is how we have to view FTL. We have taken the first steps already. Now I know you will say it was easier cause of "earthly" factors, but our technical intelligence increased by such to allow us to fly planes.

As our [technical] knowledge increases, we find more theories, and somewhere we find the way to make all this work. Believe me when I say this, interstellar travelling is possible.
