Fiction would write that there'd be a space version of the Ark taking animals and Earthlings to a New World someplace else as this Planet faces it's destruction by the Sun.

However, were that at all possible there'd have to be some vast inventions in both fuel and metals? Still, they've got around 4 billion years to conquer it?

With Star Trek and their warp speed, were they acrually "travelling" at such speed or did they warp space and time instead? I used to say that if Man could think of something, one day he'd be able to do it but as far as interstellar space travel, I think that's a a Final Frontier too far?
