People weren't on board with the idea that faster than light travel as an impossibility. Would close the debate on the possibility of travelling faster than light and with Einstein's backing many thought it would.

This means that nothing can exceed the speed of light which would make the possibility of ftl travel impossible. 'Einstein claimed that the speed of light was the However there has been a very vehement debate about the possibilities of traveling faster than the speed of light. While this is still not moving between different galaxies or quadrants in space it would greatly increase the range of people like in However with the invention of an engine capable of achieving faster than light speeds this trip would be cut down to 00:03.212 minutes. and took 39 days to reach Mars on the closest approach' The fastest current spacecraft which was a probe that 'left Earth at On it's closest approach to Earth the minimum distance to Mars is still 54.6x10 The ability to travel faster than the speed of light would greatly increase the ability to explore space. Or Battlestar Galactica jumping across space. Travelling to the buggers home planet, the Star Trek ships flying all over the galaxy, They passed the far side of the moon at an altitude of 158 miles (254 km), putting them 248,655 miles (400,171 km) away from Earth' The space program has been sending menĪnd women into space since 1961 with Yuri Gagarin, but in the last five decades only one record for distance has been set. Heavens and explore the vastness of space only a small fraction of the galaxy has been explored by man. Even though humans are now able to reach the The next majorĪccomplishment was the moon landing by the astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. The first flight was only a very short venture into space and lasted 15 minutes and was the second manned flight into space. It brought the country together and an estimated two million Americans contributed' Was the first attempt by the United States to send men into space. Time for manned missions to become a realization and many robots and animals were used as the test subjects for the earliest flights.Īn article in National Geographic it states ' Launched the satellite Sputnik into space and triggered the space race between the U.S.A and the Russians. The ability to travel to space is a very new frontier that has only been around for a short while. Various different example of sci-fi it will be shown which type of faster than light travel is the most probable. By comparing these different modes of transportation throughout ,travel in Star Trek, and the jumping capabilities of the Battlestar Galactica. These types of travel will be compared to the current abilities to travel space, how Mazer traveled in The final type is bending space around the ship in order to be able to achieve Travelling large distances through it almost instantaneously. The second mode is having a method of opening a wormhole in space and Propelling the vehicle at faster than light travel. The first mode is to have engines aboard a starship capable of Three different ways throughout multiple works of science fiction. In science fiction one of the biggest challenges is traveling the extremely large distances in space.
