Humans, perhaps. "Post-human" whatever the hells we become - I wouldn't want to impose any such limits on. I don't think that any "sci-fi" type ship will, ultimately, be the tool that takes us anywhere afield. To me it's an issue of motivation to create said technology, rather than utilizing the tech we have built in us already (few billion years of blind r/d after all). Certainly not a question of cost or expense to a society capable of it (since cost isn't really an issue to us, currently, with our tools and limitations).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
