Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny—What Can We Realistically Do?

It would take the Voyager craft about 1.3 billion years to reach the closest galaxy outside our Milky Way, the Sagittarius Dwarf elliptical galaxy (forgetting the much closer Canis Major dwarf galaxy, which is being swallowed up by the Milky Way), and more than 3 billion years to reach the next closest galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. Is that exciting? Even if that feat were possible, so what? It would be meaningless to anyone alive today. Any crew aboard would have been skeletons for most of the journey.
