Survival of humankind

It may be a bit too reminiscent of Star Trek, but I don't think we'll be going far from this planet unless some new (exponentially faster) methods of travel are invented and soon made universal. I am probably far from being even a novice in particle physics (I do enjoy reading books like "A Brief History of Time" & Leo Smolin's book about the evolution of universes); however, I believe the rough draft of the human genome provides part of the answer and quantum mechanics/particle physics the other. Without a more effective way to transport people to Mars or the lunar surface, we may be condemned to the deep recesses of the Earth (literally); within 50 years, cities like New Orleans will be much like the lost city of Atlantis. Not to mention the potential impact of global warfare (always a possibility).
