Reply to comment by O5-20 in What precautions related to space exploration do you think humans should take before finally venturing out into the rest of the Solar System? by [deleted]

Not saying today. But in the near future after arrival i believe so

Just for context, getting to the nearest solar system takes 4 years if you travel at the speed of light (186,000 m/s) and crossing the galaxy will take ~100,000 years. From then on, it’s millions of years to the next major galaxy.

Iirc we haven’t even reached 1% of light speed. So unless a revolution happens very soon, I don’t think intergalactic war is in the cards

I just realized what your argument is - i misspoke. I meant interplanetary warfare

Oh ok, gotcha.

But I’m not arguing if the war will happen I’m arguing that it is good for progress if it does.
