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