To be honest I prefer that we develop a hyperdrive.. That way we can go to one galaxy to another in an instant..

Warp drive, when?
Actually, real soon now. Just after we achieve Godhood.

"discovery of a means to propel a vehicle without propellant,"
That would really help a lot of us with our commute right now. Sometimes you just want to spank the laws of physics.

The real problem is not that space is too big or that light is too slow. Its that we don't live long enough to take advantage of it all. The solar system has plenty of unused real estate for now , by the time its a crowded place I figure lifespans will be many times longer so going to the stars will be a viable option then.

I'd rather stay out of the other galaxies. One is filled with those guys who suck the life out of you, and the other with the Muslim-like dudes with the pale eyes.

Heck I took a trip around the universe one time and never had a bit of trouble...except the 12 stitches it took to close the gash on my head didnt feel real good. I saw lots of stars that time.

Warp drive? Hyper drive? GET REAL, PEOPLE - that's all science fiction!
What we REALLY need to do is dig up a Stargåte somewhere

Could someone with a better understanding of relativity explain something for me?
If time slows for a traveler as he approaches the speed of light when viewed from an earthbound observer's perspective, wouldn't Earth-time appear to speed-up from the traveler's perspective? If the traveler got close enough to the speed of light to make it seem as if time had stopped, wouldn't millions of Earh-years pass for every second endured by the traveler? But from the traveler's perspective, wouldn't that journey of millions of Earth-years seem to be over in mere seconds, if not instantly?

a means to propel a vehicle without propellant I'm no engineer, but isn't this kind of a stupid statement?
To: KevinDavis
After you die you can travel at the speed of thought.
Face it. We're stuck here. We won't even ever go to the moon again.

The immediate challenge is not developing "warp drive"- but to invent an efficient means of converting electrical or thermal energy into kinetic energy. To use the "Star Trek" metaphor, we need to invent the impulse engines before we start work on the warp drive.
I don't laugh at the idea- in the past, serious scientists have pooh-poohed such radical ideas as the air brake, the electric light, heavier-than-air flight, and space travel.
A ship with the range to reach Proxima Centauri shouldn't be much more complicated than an Ohio-class submarine, if a drive system can be developed. A solar sail could augment the drive at the beginning of the journey and provide braking upon return.

I would remind you that a "warp" is a heavy rope Warp drive was used 160 years ago to pull ships up the river. Its a TV joke.
To: KevinDavis
Well, the other issue is we would need to develop some sort of device to cancel the g-forces on the body. The acceleration needed for most any of these ideas would leave the human body a mass of jelly-like substance.
