Man people are such pessimists.
In 500 humanity will be on par/beyond Covenant. The tech in UNSC is odd. We won't be using bullets in 50-100 years, and if we are it will be magnetic rail based not gunpowder based.
As for how we'll achieve FTL travel, who knows. There are a lot of physically viable options that we have to explore. It could just as likely be something we haven't thought of yet. It could also be impossible but that wouldn't stop us. We would send ships out with people in suspended animation or something similar if we have to.
In fact I actually think the first human colony ship to leave our solar system will not arrive at their destination first. I suspect the first ship will be passed by a ship built some centuries after it left.
I also FIRMLY believe that humanity CANNOT destroy itself even if it tried.
But these boards tend be filled with people half my age seeing nothing but bad news on TV and believe the world on a downward decline. In actuality the world is is no worse off than it was 1,000 years ago. We face different challenges obviously but nothing we cannot over come with human perseverance.
The only thing I'm concerned about is our reluctance to push farther than we have. In order for our species to survive we have to establish colonies on other world before we get hit by a world killing impact. That is a matter of when not if.
Anyway, people are way to pessimistic and underestimating of humanity.
-So the Humans will magically have an infinite budget that allows them to quickly colonise planets with ease?
The reason why the Humans still use bullets is because they never focused on war,and why discard bullets if it ain't broken?You are probably like those guys who love flying cars and laserzzzz
-Why not make an FTL drive
-WTF?
-Even if tried?Listen Humans aren't invincible,we are already screwing up the planet.What do you think will happen if the oil runs out in 40 years?If we haven't found a solution for that,because now we are slowly making progress with clean energy.Then we are screwed,transport run out of fuel,Nations are in war for the last oil.I can list more other problems we will have to face later.
-I doubt we had global warming caused my us 1000 years ago.All there was were wars between some states and a disease that wiped out a large part of Europe...Now there is still war between some nations like in the middle east or Korea problems.There are many major diseases now too that kill off people in Africa ,and you say it's "no worse"?Did they have nuclear problems 1000 years ago that can spread radiation to other countries?I think not.
-You think it can magically happen.
The only way if we can expand into space is at first stop focusing on pointless war and do something to produce clean energy in the future among other things.
