What Will It Take for Humans to Colonize the Milky Way

1. Someone to DISprove Einstein's FACT that NOTHING can exceed the speed of light.
2. Someone to invent the Warp Drive

“1. Someone to DISprove Einstein’s FACT that NOTHING can exceed the speed of light. “
“2. Someone to invent the Warp Drive”

A professor at the university gave a lecture in 1985 denying humans would ever be able to accomplish interstellar space travel. We disputed him by pointing out that the use of asteroids to house large human colonies would travel slower than the speed of light throughout the Milky Way Galaxy over the period of numerous human generations, using the asteroid transports as permanent homes. Such interstellar space travel could be accomplished with the fundamental technologies already existing in 1965; i.e. electric ion engines and so forth.
