Explanation: How far out will humanity explore? If this video [5] 's fusion of
real space imagery and fictional space visualizations is on the right track,
then at least the Solar System [6] . Some of the video [7] 's wondrous
sequences depict future humans drifting [8]  through the rings of Saturn [9] ,
exploring Jupiter [10]  from a nearby spacecraft, and jumping off a high cliff
[11]  in the low gravity of a moon of Uranus [12] . Although no one can know
the future [13] , wandering and exploring beyond boundaries -- both physical
and intellectual -- is part of the human spirit [14]  and has frequently
served humanity well [15]  in the past.
