The American military Budget accounts upto about $600 billion per year compared to which Nasa is roughly $20 billion per year. So what if Nasa had the American military budget ? What changes it could make in the field of space exploration ? The U.S is already a superpower in the field of arms and equipments holding the majority of all advanced weapons.

But in about,say, a Billion years Humanity may reach the Kardaschev scale - III type civilisation where moving within a galaxy or two may not sound so stupid as it does today. Local group of galaxies The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, 100,000 light years across in distance. The Milky way is in a group of 50 more galaxies along with Andromeda  known as the Local Group . So even if we reach the type - III civilisation, we would not be able to go any further than the local group. Now that is a brain twister Why the hell can we not go further ? Why we cannot go further than the local group ? With a type - III technology we would have the liberty to access all the Galaxies within ...
