RE:”Will interstellar space travel save humanity? Scientists predict artificial ‘homes’ in space will have to a become a reality - and say ‘warp drives’ could be the answer The vast distances between solar systems combined with the speed-of-light limit puts severe constraints on the realities of space travel”

RE Picture:

Reminds me of an old song by Kansas: “Icarus: Borne On Wings of Steel” from the album “Masque”.

Great guitar song...
