Explanation:
How far out will humanity explore?
If
this video's fusion of
real space imagery
and fictional space visualizations is on the right track, then at least the
Solar System.
Some of the video's wondrous sequences depict future
humans drifting through the
rings of Saturn, exploring
Jupiter from a nearby spacecraft, and jumping off a
high cliff in the low gravity of a moon of Uranus.
Although no one can know the
future, wandering and exploring beyond boundaries -- both physical and intellectual
-- is part of the human spirit and has frequently
served humanity well in the past.
