Through time‚ humans have dreamed of travelling across the stars to the exoplanets we’ve spotted far away‚ but such a trip would be very long. Even to travel at the current space speed record to the nearest known exoplanet would take 43‚000 years (4). All that aside; the main issue is sustaining a human population for that long‚ if it were based generation to generation it would take roughly 600 generations of humans before they arrived based on today’s current life expectancy (3).

When I was eight years old‚ I peered through a telescope for the first time in my life. It was a small device‚ no more than two metres long‚ and yet it let me glimpse a brilliant view of Jupiter: it was the size of a marble‚ magnificently striated in hues of brown‚ red and orange.
