sounds good man. I'll keep this in mind and let you know when I have something.
but can you let me know how urgent this is? because we're kinda in the middle of solving the global financial system and also stopping Russia from nuking us and China. we're also working on solving climate change and world hunger. then we got a bunch of other stuff going on too, like we're making sure AI doesn't turn us into paper clips.
so yeah I think some of that stuff is more important than your spaceship.

True, but having FTL travel would focus the world on a common goal, spur international co-operation - like the ISS - and show that there is an optimistic future too. What sort of technological solutions do you envision?

that's an excellent point. I could definitely see how faster than light travel would inspire all of humanity and create a sense of unity to focus humanity's attention on something greater than themselves. I agree this is important, and I will add it to my list.
I think the main technology needed for faster than light travel is better energy storage, which I'm developing. but I believe fusion technology could potentially be a necessary piece of this puzzle as well.

Could anti-matter work? I'm assuming some sort of magneto-containment vessel; certainly not simple, but since matter and anti-matter annihilate each other, there seems to be no other option.
