As much as we all love the idea of starships racing across the galaxy a la Star Trek, I think that the future of space travel is more likely to involve nano-probes that can travel at close to light speed. They would be next to impossible for us to detect and would probably avoid direct contact with any civilization they encountered in any case.
Imagine being able to download your consciousness into a nano-probe and race off to explore the universe... 8^) Doug _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
