Fast space transport makes the conundrum known as
"Fermi's
Paradox" worse. If travel between stars isn't so
hard, then
extraterrestrials should have reached Earth by now.
They are
not obviously here, hence the paradox.
One of the possible resolutions to the paradox is that
civilizations always self-destruct when they reach a
certain
level of technology. There are many other hypotheses
to resolve the Fermi Paradox, but that one is not good
for
our future.
