I bet we could explore the galaxy.

I drew this. It is neat to see it on the front page. While it would have been nice if the OP linked to the original I am just really glad to see the level of interesting conversation this has sparked both in this thread and in the original /r/comics post I made the other day. I have really enjoyed reading the different interpretations and reactions people have had.

It is encouraging to see something I did resonate with people. The Pocket Universe has been and continues to be a really rewarding effort. I count myself lucky to be getting the level of traffic this thing has seen in its first week of existence.

Even if we put our collective minds together we still couldn't explore the galaxy. The technology to move fast enough to get anywhere is theoretical at best... doesn't mean we shouldn't try but this is a pipe dream.

I bet we could explore ~~the galaxy~~ our solar system if we stopped being dicks for like 5 minutes.

Sorry but I seriously doubt interstellar travel in a reasonable time-frame will be achievable in our lifetimes, if ever. That's assuming world peace was enacted and we all started holding hands.

We might build colony ships that take generations to even reach the nearest stars, but that's about it.

The speed of light would like to have a word with you. Of course we could learn more about our galaxy with more resources, but truly exploring anything besides Mars will be impossible for the foreseeable future.

If the James Webb telescope never launches, it will be a real tragedy. After some initial failure, the Hubble telescope has been the most successful NASA project since Voyager.

And more generally, if people stopped being dicks for 5 minutes we could accomplish a ton of other things we need to do here on Earth- like feeding everyone.

More like 5 milleniums (not even close actually (57600Km/h being the fastest stuff we've made so far it seems, and Proxima Centauri being the closest star)).
Anyway technically we're already exploring the universe (thus including this galaxy), we've just not gone very far yet.

Imagine the world has a week where everyone agrees to do as much as they possibly can without burning themselves out. Go in to work and actually work from the minute you get there until the minute you leave. And work hard, not just as much as you feel like working. When you get home, tackle all the big projects you've been putting off that you can accomplish within the week. Call all those friends you've been putting off calling for months. Tell your parents you love them (if you mean it) and burn the bridges that the crazies have been taking to invade your kingdom.

Imagine how much shit could change in a week if everyone worked to their potential and not their lazy limit.

Nope, there are non-political and non-economic reasons why we are likely never going to explore the galaxy in manned space craft.

The physics is just not in our favor, it takes far too much energy to accelerate a mass to a fraction of c. And even if we had the energy sources available and could go say .3c then it would still take decades if not centuries to get anywhere.

You need a lot of resources, competent and trusted coordinator. If people suddenly stopped being dicks that would not automatically make them trustful and curious, nor would it create a surplus of resources.

Remember, significant portion of the Earth's population are starving, and this is far from the end of our problems.

If only everything were this simple.

Competition increases production, most technological breakthroughs of the past 300 years came out during times of war, the X-Ray, Microwaves, Cell Phone technology, Radios, all came about from war. And the Space Race was all about the Cold War, we would never have had the drive to go to the moon if we weren't competing with the Soviet Union. Now you have to hope corporations can get into space tourism, and mining other planets, and doing other things that will make them money and be cost-effective allowing for competition to emerge and then we could possibly see a bit of exploration in our solar system.

Exploring the Galaxy? Not in my life, or even our children's, probably not even grandchildren unless we can find a way to fold space or travel at many times the speed of light.
