Man was created with the ability to make big boats, like the ark, and spend long enough amounts of time in them that ocean currents alone would take you all over the world. Nothing even remotely like this is true about space travel.

This is the part revealed to mankind thousands years ago. But sailors made several steps farther than the Ark carried by currents. They added sails, steam, diesel, turbines, nuclear reactors... All this is not in The Book. Forget the airplanes (or you deny their existence or practicality?). People got the ability to invent (ether from The God or evolution) - and they keep doing so.

If you show Wright Brothers scetch of F-104 Starfighter (or MiG-21), they will say that this thing will never fly and if it will takeof it will crash during landing. And prove it to you using their late XIX century bank of knowledge.

Think of the requirements to travel 25 trillion miles! - Just a very big Ark. Pick an asteroid, build a sort of ant's colony and go! One way travel, but me and Wirestripper will go. Right, Wirestripper?

It sounds so easy in the sci-fi books doesn't it. How fast will your asteroid go? How will your asteroid be powered? How will you stop your asteroid? How much does it weigh again? I know I have an even better idea. Lets just fly the moon like on that one sci fi series that didn't last very long.
