Actually. We could be traveling at warp speed at our present date in time if:
The Library of Alexandria hadnt been burned somewhere between 42 BC and 642 AD. Why? Because at the time the Library of Alexandria (LOA) housed all of the major technological knowledge. Some people believed that the basis of electricity and modern plumbing and other technological "breakthroughs" of time were housed there. So, after the library was burned, we lost all of that knowledge. So, that set us back about oh, 500 years in terms of technology.
So if you think about, it could have been Christopher Columbus setting foot on the moon instead of Armstrong.
Pretty amazing.
BTW, i got this all from my history book.
