I don't think some of the people on this site realize the power. We could solve millions of problems that we have been trying to figure out for 1,000s of years. Maybe even get the answer on how to make us evolve and become more efficient. Questions like how to live longer and maybe even become immortal. Cure disease and many, many things. This, if used for good, will be our answer to the stars and beyond. I always wanted to travel in space, Not only would this be able to solve hunger, Poverty, health, science, energy, enviromental problems. The list goes on and on that this could accomplish in the right hands. I'm stoked as well but scared as well.

lol

Space travel, solving hunger, poverty and disease, energy and environmental problems will demand so much more than a fast computer. Increased computational power will only be a tool among many to solve those problems, not a general solution in any way.
