Interstellar

This belonged in another thread.

By the time we develop interstellar travel, other technologies might make such a journey moot. Virtual worlds may prove more alluring than real ones. Already see mmorpg addiction. IMagine in centuries how much better VR might become. If people end up prefering VR to real-world, may be hard pressed to find anyone willing to go to other stars.

This reminds me of the "Star Trek" pilot, "The Cage." Soon you forget how to fix the machines which your ancestors built.

Yea John 8 x 10^22 is pretty big no.

Mostly pretty far apart tho
