And I'd like to toss into the hat that back, what, 50, 60 years ago,
people
said it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of sound. Humans
just
couldn't do it. We eventually figured it out. Therefore, by *that* track
record, I believe we'll figure out how to get ourselves out of this
solar
system in a timely manner (i.e., before Sol goes red giant on us ;-) ).

That is, assuming the Ixx or the Kra'Vak don't find us first...
