matter / Antimatter Warp drives FTW! 
this is cool, the first (somewhat) habitible planet we found...

Just going fast won't solve anything.
Bare in mind edventualy we're going to reach a theoretical maximum speed in space, and when that happens, no-one actually knows what will happen (or even if we can go faster than the speed of light).
Hell, we're just now seeing people like Nasa trying to impliment Ion drivers (drivers, not drives), and even they rely on other propulsion techniques to work, so if anything, it's a hybrid.
We're so, so far away from something like this. Hell, we're just now trying to reach fusion power - in 2014, when they run the first trial of the new fusion facility in France, they'll know if it works or not. If we can turn a multi-complex spanning fusion reactor down to a few square meters, then bingo, we might be able to go a bit faster than we are now in space.
Slipstreaming is dangerous, but not as much as artificial wormhole generation, which will probably be banned. Slipstream gates, are possible, but even then...
I read up on something a while ago about multi-bubble-streaming, which involves opening flaps in space (or bubbles), which the ship can remain in normal space, but a thin film of space around the bubble flies faster than light, leaving the crew and normal space in-tact. What they want to do is open a bubble, within a bubble, within a bubble, to make it go even faster.
Ofcourse this is all theory, and we're probably centuries away from even developing an inter-solor system drive.
Ah well, go science!

I think it is far too soon to predict anything that will/won't happen, and that will/won't be dangerous. Simply put, without a major technological break, all those devices will exist firmly in the imagination. We simply do not have the exotic materials, nor the mathematical precision to create such devices. If any hope exists at all, it is within particle physics and the LHC. Fusion and matter/antimatter hybrid-drives would only be viable within intersolar system travel.

All we have to do is look and see just how far humanity has come in just 100 years.
After we see that, we realize that things of imagination don't stay just imagination for very long.
If someone can dream it, very likely one day, it will be a reality.

im not gona touch the technolotical stuff in this thread.
im just gona say.
i hope when we first try inner solor system travle.
we won't get bounced back and receave a message.
"Stay in your cave lower life form"
me remembers
"2001 A Space Odyssey" and "2010"
and jack don't tell me the don't exist.
pruve me wrong.
and no im not gona pruve that the exist the chance that there are is proof alone.
science is not about understanding the current facts its about finding new one's.
this is trough for the individual and the whole.
(Eledore Massis 2001)
Facts found to be wrong where not wrong.
the were just the right factors to get you searching for the real onces facts.

That would be a hard move seeing how much gravity it has compared to earth, might be hard from instant earth to that planet, but a long space travel from earth to that planet would be nasty.. You would have to work out in the spaceship to keep your figure, and work out a little more to be able to walk on this "new" planet. Kinda smells like dragon ball z on a mission to namic.

Wha'?
I have no freaking clue what you're on about.
Making sense for the freaking win.

The gravity shouldn't be that far off from our own little planet. You'd be about 5% heavier if not less. Jupiter has over 300 times the mass of Earth but that only equates to roughly 2.5 times our gravity.
As far as FTL transportation... Our research into teleportation shows that FTL communication should at least be possible with our current understanding of quantum physics.

Going with Ramius on this one..
And jack the whole bubbles thing has gotta be right outta Star Trek TTNG. cus that near on what warp field manipulation is about. Its very interesting stuff.
As for over crowding.. Im more worried about the fresh water supply.
As for the best places besides our Earth or Oceans..
best space Realestate..
#1 - Large Asteroids, Space Stations, & the Moon
#2 - Mars ( Main major problem being the lack of a protective Magnetic shield, any Terra forming Ie: trying to pump Co2 into the atmosphere would be a waste of time cus it will get Blown away like the first one... Oh and enough water.. and then being able to Blast off it.. or Grow enough food)
#3 - Moon of Jupiter, good luck with this one. Solar rays.. are very very dim at this distance. Everything is very very frozen, and im not talking mars, cus marz is a fn tanning bed compared to these places.. so that leaves you Geo Thermal power.. if you can find it.
#4 - A planet in another solar system, When your Great Great Great Great Grand childrens offspring finally get to there and find out that the place is worst than a dennys on mars, it will be a good thing your long gone..
My Advice, Develop the oceans, Develop Space Station Colonys in the Golden Zone, Any NEA that passes by dont blow it up cus its a possible home.
Lets get real and learn to ask the tough questions about what space is.. and dont listen to alot of that stuff about Mars is the next best place.. cus its on the list but by no means next, best or next best.
-Charz

First you say that living on Mars is tough because you cant get an atmosphere, then you suggest living on an asteroid?
