To me, it feels like a further step in advancing human civilization. Disperse the population a bit and keep growing as a species. That said, I’m no expert and if you have literature to recommend please do!

    BillGill said it better than I could - speed of light limitation.

    I can add that our nearest star is 4 light-years away, so if we could travel at the speed of light it would still take 4 years to get there.

    We can’t even travel a fraction the speed of light yet - even if we could there are massive challenges to even approaching a fraction of the speed of light.

    As for something magical like warp, well that’s still just ideas.
