I thought this thread would be more fun than this, extremism has ruined even pondering the future online. I'm thinking about AI controlled society, post scarsity where we discover a theory of everything in our life times and bend the laws of the universe to our will where we live eternally or possibly after realising we are in a simulation and it can be controlled easily from within and five posts on Trump is mentioned. I give up.

1. Will we ever reach the stars?

Depends on what the limits of the universe are and we haven't found them. Right now, no, even if we could incubate or extend our lives to take interstellar trips there is always the radiation from deep space that no-one seems to ever really discuss, we are protected here by earth's magnetosphere, good luck building a ship that'll mimic that. But I'm sure many people asked will we ever cross the ocean and were proven wrong by bold people on wooden boats not even protected from the malnutrition occurring in their bodies.
