unfortunately doesn't take into account the chance for living human beings to arrive and populate those habitable planets.... Mars wins out hands down doesn't it?

Travel time? Too dang long. But, technology has, and will continue to evolve. Heck, robots can set tile.

Minor details. I'm sure our best engineers are working on the USS Enterprise as we speak.

The leading NASA theorist on warp drive has a concept for forming a warp bubble on the sides and behind a space craft, but as of yet cannot provide theory or conjecture for projecting the bubble forward in time/space.

It's going to be a while.

We will be able to go back in time long before we can fold time/space in front of us, or so the article said.
