When Will We Be Able To Travel To Other Galaxies?

Of course the right propulsion system is key:

NASA is experimenting today with ion engines, which have a much larger specific impulse, since they can operate for months, but have an extremely low thrust. For example, an ion engine which ejects cesium ions may have the thrust of a few ounces, but in deep space they may reach great velocities over a period of time since they can operate continuously. They make up in time what they lose in thrust. Eventually, long-haul missions between planets may be conducted by ion engines.

This is really intelligent stuff and hopefully within the next few decades we can continue to make strides in space travel!

    I believe Sandy. We have an insane amount of tech that you and I will never see. The cool stuff they “just came out with” or “just discovered” happened a long time ago.
