Exactly!
Coupled with the fact that technology has grown expotentially over the years and a recent re-visit of Einsteins theories of realtivity and space-time....I think we are on track for some major discoveries....maybe even "Warp Drive" type of travel or at least twice what we are able to do now. And, forbid, I be the ney-sayer....maybe discovering things that we can not yet comprehend or control. With every generation of science ...we seem to double the discoveries and technology that goes with them.
Unfortunetly.....we humans don't seem to evolve as quickley as the science and discoveries occur. Until we learn to speed up our genetic clocks, and evolve to enable us to retain all we have learned, then we are at a dis-advantage. But, when we can, I predict, that, within a millenia....we will contact other life or have visited another world/worlds that have life or lifeforms on it.
So you see young Padawan .....you need to spend some time on the internet and learn that...that you are lacking knowledge of.
It all comes down to human nature.
