Newton was pre-QM and 400 years ago. If we don't destroy ourselves
first, I think we'll eventually find a way to colonise planets outside
of our solar system. But that will be a long, long tme away.

The thing is, we have unidentified objects in our skys that don't obey
the edicts of Newtonian physics. Clearly someone somewhere has the
capability of making what we believe is impossible trivial. That would
suggest interplanetary travel in realistic transit times is already
being carried out and has been for a very long time.

Action=reaction will continue to rule, and QM won't change a thing
there. Even so, I agree we're likely to colonize other planets
eventually, though not by sending lots of people there.
