Nobody can tell with certainty what the future of humanity might look like, but when we think of the more positive outcomes for our species, we like to imagine humanity mastering space travel and reaching planets and stars billions of miles away from our cosmic home.

Inspired by the technological progress that humans have already achieved in our relatively short span of existence in the universe, talented artists offer us a sneak peek into what humanity's future may look like once we leave Earth and venture into the stars.

Time will tell whether and when their visions come true, but for now, their amazing artworks are here to inspire new generations of stargazing dreamers. Let's take a look and dare to dream, too.
