    No, but yes- of course assuming humanity continues in a meaningful way. I mean technically we are already travelers- we’re already traveling through space at high speed… https://cosmic-odometer.vercel.app/

    In terms of lightspeed travel, I think no, and definitely not sci-fi warp tech, BUT generational ships where people live and continue to reproduce over gigantic time scales could. If a ship had enough space, ecosystem of its own, etc- we could continue at “sub light” travel pretty much indefinitely without any ludicrous scientific advances beyond radiation shielding, etc.

    Again though, that’s a long, LONG way off and would require we stop trying so hard to off ourselves and the lovely little blue marble we currently traverse life on.
