You do realize that someday we will develop FTL technology, artificial gravity, and ways to protect to the passengers from radiation..

Got serious doubts about that.
Physics is physics, there's not even a provable glimmer of a hint that can happen.........Just saying.

Sure the hell will not be soon, no matter how you define “soon”.

we already have the artificial gravity(well spin a ship to make a 1 G centrifuge or with enough power, travel at a continuous 1 G, both accelerating and breaking, to simulate same...)

.....and with enough shielding radiation is no problem, as long as you have the power to push a heavily armored ship.

FTL.....ah. that's the problem. can we harness an Alcubierre bubble? or drill out a worm hole big enough to travel through??? Actually traveling FTL seems to be impossible...

But there are theories that say those can't be done. /snark
