Not exactly a surprising statement given the distances involved. Even if we did take off we would probably mutate into non-humans during the million or so years of travel. So, in effect humans would not inhabit another planet.

I'm a fan of the Dune novels. But folding space has an amazingly high energy cost. Dune Navigators are essentially using the spice melange to perform magic.

I see where he is going with this. He is more concern about humans trashing our own planet on a false hope that we can move to the next one.

That spice was something special. I also read a book called The Void Captain's Tale by Norman Spinrad which had a quite interesting way of beating the speed of light.

One missing ingredient in the Dune series is "what were they doing before they found spice on Arrakis?"

I've just read the synopsis and it looks unusual indeed....

So one is left to suppose, but it's still missing....
