97. Could a spaceship go to another universe? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
Well, right now we only know of our Universe. And within this Universe distances to other galaxies are so great that we can't realistically plan missions to them. But who knows what the future holds? Remember that just 150 years ago some people thought that no one could survive going over 40 miles per hour; and just 100years ago most people didn't think we could ever fly; and just 60years ago some people thought we would never be able to fly supersonically. So keep dreaming and thinking and working towards it, and maybe someday we can at least go to another star in our own galaxy.
