Because we as humans have an innate trait to want to explore and dare to dream bigger

We could mine other planets, asteroids, moons. Discover new things. Maybe find life. And the future of humans depends on colonizing other planets. As for the time it takes to travel to other places in response to the other post. We could always hope for a breakthrough. Like near or FTL travel or collapsing space time around you. Crazy how that all works with time dilation and all. Think I read if someone traveled at light speed for 1 year 10 years would pass for us here. But what if for example we're communicating over video chat? Seems like a paradox.If you're going to bet all your hopes on being able to break the laws of physics, then there's really no point having a discussion.For time dilation to kick in with noticeable effects you'd need to be travelling around 10%C. Lightspeed is unatainable because to get anything that has more than zero mass to that velocity you would need literally infinite energy. To get anywhere near velocities measured in percentages of C you'd need the kind of tech you see in science fiction.I hate to break it to you but science fiction is called science fiction for a reason.

I actively hope that it never happens.

Maybe it's smarter to think things through logically, rather than allow your innate, carnal, ego-driven, materialistic desires own you.
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
