First I'll start saying I love this damn movie. Best movie I've seen in a long long time. Anyway. I hadn't even noticed in the beginning, it says the Prometheus is 3.27x10^14 km away from Earth. A light year is 9.4607x10^12 km. Prometheus from Earth = 327,000,000,000,000 km Lightyear = 9,460,700,000,000 km 327,000,000,000,000 / 9,460,700,000,000 = approximately 35 light years. None of these numbers are 100% on the dot I rounded them, but does anyone really think that in under 100 years humans would ever advance in technology so much as to travel 35 light years in under 2 years? Nah...

I seriously doubt we will be even near to the speed of light as for faster - naa not in 100 years it is sooooo complex! But this part of the film was no were near as bad as the character problems! Yes its crazy 13.7 billion light years to the edge of our visible universe. And thats a theoretical 93 billion light years across currently and expanding very fast :O . And most scientists think the visible universe is a tiny fraction of the actual universe - or it may in fact be infinite :O !

And our story takes place in a small part of the known universe,,in a small potion of it's timeline..with so far ... a limited of charactors..each sort of reflect a facet of the human experience....plus Engineers.. robots and Xeno related creature What is crazy is trying to find the meaning of life,,who created us,,in a 2 hour film! Saying all of that,,not in nthe next 40 years,,will we see a speed of light transport system.....but before 2100 we will.....and rimwe travel will be a common occurance,, Why not?
