I am sure you guys sometimes wonder if we could bring the fictional stories of intergalactic travel to reality. Well, we all have been fantasizing about the futuristic depiction of Star Wars. But it seems we are not very far from it. We may soon witness the first intergalactic human transportation. In 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. The first important accomplishment was circling the Earth three times.Things proceeded further in 1969 when Neil Armstrong took a giant leap on the behalf of humanity with the Apollo II space mission to land on the Moon. Today, NASA and Elon Musk’s SpaceX have plausible plans to take people to Mars using existing technologies. With further development, the next stage may not seem so far away. Reaching out to more distant worlds is a more futuristic notion. These expeditions would need sophisticated technologies that we currently lack. But we are not very far from building that type of amazing technology. However, it’s feasible that humanity will one day find out how to travel long distances in a single pulse. That would solve the issue of time spent in space, which harms the human body. Scientists are great thinkers. They conceive the impossible only to strive tirelessly to overcome a problem that prevents them from accomplishing their objectives. If nothing else, it’s fun to fantasize about visiting a faraway planet in another solar system, or perhaps another galaxy. The Milky Way is a disc of stars around 100,000 light-years wide and 1,000 light-years thick that makes up our galaxy. In the vertical direction, the Sun is roughly midway between the center and the middle of the disc. To escape our Galaxy, we’d have to travel 500 light-years vertically, or 25,000 light-years from the galactic center. To escape the ‘halo’ of diffuse gas, ancient stars, and globular clusters that surrounds the Milky Way’s celestial disc, we’d have to go considerably further.
