How Much Of The Universe Can Humanity Explore Before The Year 3,000?

Hey guys! We’re now live on Spotify🎧 Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/show/033fToV... A thousand years is long enough for people to watch blue sunsets on Mars, for fusion ships to reach the still methane seas of Titan, and for sails pushed by light to sweep past the nearest stars. This soft documentary follows humanity's reach outward, century by century, from a single light-second to the far edge of the observable universe, and the quiet limits that light itself sets along the way. By the year three thousand, how much of the universe will humanity truly have explored?
