  Hmmm, i’m sure we are going to be travelling much faster in the future, but i’m not sure if we will ever reach the speed of light. I’m sure it will be possible to send an astronaut out of the solar system in the future, but the question is would anyone want to do it, as they might not be able to get back!
  
  Would you go?
