We must colonize the planet right way now!

{prays scientists make some breakthrough to be able to travel faster than the speed of light}

You may as well pray that scientists develop a breaktrhough to make people stand stiller then still.

Every joke in the world and you go with THAT?

It's not a joke.

It's another way to conceive the speed of light.

It literally is as fast as we can go.  At best we can hope to go "around" a lot of space.

There are certain instances under very specific conditions that light's speed is surpassed IIRC.

I propose that we increase the speed of light and we make ships that can travel 99.99994% as quickly as the new speed.

Don't forget  "Warp speed will kill you."  :)

"Captain Kirk might want to avoid taking the starship Enterprise to warp speed, unless he's ready to shrug off interstellar hydrogen atoms that would deliver a lethal radiation blast to both ship and crew.

There are just two hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter on average in space, which poses no threat to spaceships traveling at low speeds. But those same lone atoms would transform into deadly galactic space mines for a spaceship that runs into them at near-light speed, according to calculations based on Einstein's special theory of relativity.''
