We want to totally escape the grip of gravity and inertia; we want to be able to transport ourselves or other objects by dematerializing at one spot and reappearing at another; we want to be able to completely conceal and cloak our vehicle as in a big space ship.
We want to be able to travel in time, so as to see the full sweep of the past and the future; we want control over everything that we see; we want to become immortal, omnipotent, and omniscient, insofar as possible; we want to be in the presence of and commune with the Universe; and we want a full escape from the vagaries of sickness, accident, and war.
We truly want to live a human existence.
