Sad, more discoveries are being made about possible habitable planets and we don't have a viable space program anymore.

Serious actual work on really advanced drives should be going on, not just theoretical work and damn sure no more crap like the ISS.

Yes need to work on Heim Drives and gravity manipulation type devices.

Anything that can decouple an object from inertia will be a goo thing to research.

Hey, that's not all bad. Why should we white guys mess up the rest of the galaxy with European-style socialism since America seems to be gleefully going down the same path?

After all, it's the Chinese who need more space to put people, anyway, and they seem to be doing a better job of learning capitalist principles than we white guys are in remembering them.
