Hyperspace Drive?

This thread once more proved that I am living in EXACTLY THE WRONG TIME. Just a century or two earlier and we wouldn't even know there were extraterrestrial/extrasolar planets worth traveling to, and maybe a couple centuries in the future and we're building sleeper ships (or whatever) that allow you to travel to other solar systems in what to you is a relatively short time span, but which might actually take tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Oh hell.

As a Catholic naturally I don't believe in Reincarnation, but up until a few years ago I wished that when I died I'd be born in the future and experience high technology such as space travel, but then cloning was invented and spaceship 1 went into orbit and now I wonder if perhaps I am living in a time where I can experience those things some day. I sometimes joke that perhaps I will be lucky enough to live long enough that anti-aging treatments will be developed.

Edit: Actually nowadays I wonder if perhaps I died 50 years ago and asked God to put me in an age of technological explosion

I don't believe in reincarnation either, that is why I make sacrifices to my dark gods daily to extend my life.

Strat there were worse times than now, to mangle a quote by Crowley

"The good thing about time is that it take's me further and further away from the 14th Century. The most boring century in God's creation."

As for the future? Overated I'd say as we are all going to die because of Ebloa/SARS/Bird Flu/Flesh Eating Necrosis/Panic.
