FTL travel is the holy grail of science-fiction dorks. It is what shall let us venture into the depths of space, colonizing planets and ruining shit outside of our own solar system. Unfortunately, we aren’t anywhere near achieving the son of a bitch, if it’s even possible.

I’ve read before about the gnarly collision that is destined between our own home galaxy and that sliding son of a bitch Andromeda. Unfit to let our eventual collision be left as a burden on other homo-martian-neptunians, NASA astronomers have decided to let the world know.
SpaceX Dragon Capsule Returning To Earth Today At 11:44 ET
The SpaceX Dragon Capsule has already given all of his space dorks swollen groins by being the first commercial-thingy to dock with the ISS. Now it is going to return home, collect the roses laid at its feet, and tongue-screw all of our mothers. We are fine with this.
ISS Astronaut After Seeing The Inside of SpaceX Dragon Capsule: Looks Like A “Sci-Fi Set”
The SpaceX Dragon capsule is all up at the ISS, being awesome. Holding court. One of the astronauts at the ISS has posted impressions of the capsule, and all indications is that it is super-swank mode.
