Could we see our future looking more and more like the star trek movie?
What is your thinking on this? thank you Alice

Less and less. There is no warp drive, no hyperspace,
no star gates and no wormholes.

Look at the successes of the rovers on Mars and the
landing of Huygens on Titan to see what the future
really holds - ever more autonomous robots.

This conversation a few months ago explains my views.

I am sure we will be able to leave this system one
day, if we survive that long, but not using crude
old "spaceships", just high power radio or lasers
to get there at the speed of light.

Yes, and with the ridicolous light speed limit of just 300.000 Km / sec. we
can't go outside our System...
Because the Great Architects don't want us to ruin such a nice Universe
Simulation...

Have a little patience. What's a few millennia
in astronomical terms ;-)

You're right, we have only to wait some improvements in the simulation
hardware...
When everything will be ready suddenly a new Einstein will discover an
higher speed limit so we can travel in some near systems...
And so on... I hope the Moore law is right also for the Great Architets...
Simulation here is becoming a little boring... seeing always the same slow
little robots on Mars is not so exciting...
