Once upon a time 8000 years ago!

The latest astronomical event was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope this week, A huge star explosion 8000 years ago, which light reached the earth on May 1, 1006 and recorded by the Arabic astronomer Ali ibn Ridwan. 1002 years later we had the chance to see it's ghostly remains.

So people do the math! it took 7000 years for humans to see the lights of the explosion, another 1000 to see it's remaining, well!!

OK, let's create a scenario, let's say that we have been able to create a spaceship that could travel for a zillion of years none stop. It has all the renewable fuels thing, unlimited food supplies, and Mrs X and I.

Me and Mrs X will find our selves lonely after few years, apparently we will be reaching Saturn or something, in a voyage towards planet shnekht in the galaxy shnider, which happens to be 1000000 ly away! but we take our chances! now according to our calculations we must start having kids after we reach the Pluto ex-planet, this way when the ship (we will be dead and being like the founding fathers of the spaceship inhabitants) reaches it's destination, they shall have enough amount of people to fill that planet will live and joy! And when they see any original shnekhters, they will say to them: "All you base are belong to us!".

Enough of this fantasy thing, it is impossible for humans to do that! ok we can make movies about it, but we cannot do that.

I know maybe this post is a total waste of time, but think of what i said, then you will find it's hidden values.

If people were to travel to places that are thousands of light years away, they won't do it in conventional means .. but instead they would create holes in the space-time fabric so they can cut more distance in less time (and "travel faster than light").

Also, does your assumption mean that your children will marry each other in order to give you grandchildren???????
