DARPA's Long-Term Long Shot to the Stars

DARPA wants to hear serious plans for reaching the stars. The research organization is preparing to give a $500,000 grant to the person or group with the best plan for developing a way to send a living human to another star system sometime in the next 100 years. Such a plan would require no small amount of imagination -- the perils of space are many, and the journey itself could take centuries...

One day historians may look back and see this as the salvatin of the human race; or where we completly screwed up. Only time will tell

Well at least if DARPA are interested then it will probably be accomplished, but in what sense as they are first and foremost a military company, but then again most technological advancements that we interact with on a daily basis came from them.

There hypersonic vehicle the Falcon HTV-2 looks amazing and a lot like many UFO sightings, pitty its aim is to deploy bombs at faster speeds.

I wouldn't like to be in a fishing boat near where that comes down!
