uploading our consciousness to a spaceship the size of a USB drive

Never gonna happen.

Maybe not, but it's far more likely than traveling faster than light to other star systems.

There are numerous potential methods to possibly achieve FTL travel, namely the Alcubierre Drive has lots of eventual potential.

Which is also very unlikely, nigh impossible.

Also, the idea that humans will go out into the galaxy and settle on other planets is pure colonialist thinking. We have exploited and destroyed our planet, but instead of fixing it, we'll just find another planet to exploit snd destroy.

How is exploring other worlds inherently exploitative or destructive?
