If you wanted a Milky Way bar and had to travel 870 trillion miles to get it, assuming you were traveling at the speed of light, then you should anticipate eating your candy bar in 2.9 million years. What this tells me is that human beings will have no major role to play in space exploration.

John Galt - Atlas Shrugged

"The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. The only proper functions of government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach and fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law."
