Right, and I fully understand the physics of breaking out of the Earth's orbit.

I just had no idea that science and technology are at the point where it's possible to reach Mars in 4 months.

With that being the case, I would imagine that the commute to Mars will take a week or less before the end of this century.

Is interstellar travel that far behind?
