My opinion - Yes, we need better propulsion for space travel.
But NO, we do not necessarily need to go faster than
the Speed of Light.  That feat, may indeed be impossible.
But slower than the speed of light still allows great
human exploration.

I think it is just incredible what we are doing with
robot machines and artificial intelligence in
our exploring on Mars.  Flying a helicopter!!
