Well here's the thing though. We really have no idea how much it would take. The speed of advances is getting faster every day. We've got scientists working on things like quantum computers, teleportation, anti gravity. All kinds of cool stuff. To us we're thinking, okay, maybe in 50 years we'll have one. If you actually look, a lot of the scientists are going. "10 years, maybe 5, depends how lucky we are."
