      yeah, sure. its not my area of science, but people are working on it now. If you google ‘national geographic’ they did some interesting things recently on preparations to go to Mars. We have also sent satellites to Jupiter that has shown what it is like.

      A big question is whether people will go far in the galaxy. Sending people is very difficult and expensive (you would be away from home for years, and sorting out food and water is very difficult for that length of time). So it might be that we more keep sending robots out in to the galaxy.
