No, we have plenty of stories about that sort of thing where I'm from. We've sent ships into space, just nothing that big or long-term. [So they're still on the stage of just writing a lot of sci-fi fiction to make up for the lack of interplanetary travel. Though honestly, Ren would like to see it happen before the end of his lifetime, even if it's for somewhat selfish reasons.]

I guess it just goes to show how different the worlds everyone is coming from are.
