At the beginning of the 24th century, humanity left Earth for the stars. The extensive ecological and climatic devastation that had characterized the last 300 years had completely consumed our planet, turning it into a barren and inhospitable world. The rapid melting of ice had caused the seas to rise, leading to the disappearance of entire cities and coastal regions. Deforestation had brought about impoverishment, destruction, and the loss of human and animal lives. Meanwhile, we continued to burn fossil fuels, knowing that they were poisoning us, gradually transforming our world into one less suitable for our survival. In the meantime, a small fraction of us looked to the stars in search of a place to start anew. But where? What were our chances of finding a planet so similar to Earth that it could welcome and protect humanity from the chaos it had created? Powerful telescopes were then constructed, and hundreds of Earth-like twins were quickly discovered orbiting distant stars. After all, our home wasn't that unique. The universe was full of Earths! Hundreds of spacecraft, each as large as the ancient transatlantic ships, left the planet, some headed towards the Alpha Centauri system, others to even more distant stars. Despite traveling at relativistic speeds, propelled by warp engines, the journey would last centuries, and only the descendants of the departing would perhaps see the promised land... Okay... evocative, isn't it? But how realistic could this scenario be? Certainly, once we consider all our current technological advancements, there is a strong temptation to believe that we are approaching an era (more or less distant) of interstellar exploration. But do you really think we will one day leave Earth and all our concerns behind, or that we will begin to roam the entire galaxy, colonizing, and trading? No... we firmly believe not, and with this video, we are here to reiterate and demonstrate just that... that we humans will never travel beyond the boundaries of our solar system.
