Those smart guys at NASA says that we'll never reach the stars
At a recent conference, rocket scientists from NASA, the U.S. Air Force and academia doused humanity's interstellar dreams in cold reality. The scientists, presenting at the Joint Propulsion Conference in Hartford, Connecticut, analyzed many of the designs for advanced propulsion that others have proposed for interstellar travel. The calculations show that, even using the most theoretical of technologies, reaching the nearest star in a human lifetime is nearly impossible.Dang! There goes my dream of visiting Coruscant and moons of Endor!

Why We're Afraid
If you've ever watched an episode of MTV Cribs you know that, besides 7 cars they don't drive and 3 dead behind the eyes models soaking in a hot tub, the one item that every rap star must own is a Scarface poster. Somehow, Al Pacino in an ugly suit has come to represent everything that thugs out there aspire to be. That's why we're afraid. We don't want to get shot.
