Scientists Teleport Laser across room

Scientists in Australia have teleported a lser beam containing a radio signal a few meters across a lab. In theory they say it would be possible to do the same experiment over kilometers. the teleportation takes place in a billionth of a second.

Previously only a single photon of light has been teleported, but now the quantumn scientists have made a huge leap in thier research.

it wont be possible to teleport objects or living beings for a long long long time to come, no doubt 50 or more years, but scientists are heading in the right direction to enable mankind to explore the universe around us.

just think, no need for space ships really, many years before your voyage a space craft was launched and it dropped a small landing craft, complete with teleport hub. to get to mars you simply deconstruct in a lab on earth and get beamed by laser or microwave signal to your destination, your equipment is already waiting or is sent after you through the hub.

by traveling this way we would be using something that we all know travels billions and billions of miles accross space, light and radiation. ever wondered why boats dont run on water?? after all its the main rescource available out at sea... and why dont planes travel on light or air power? light and radiation are mainly what is out there in space, so we would be wise to emulate or use it, rather than building rockets that ultimately run out of fuel.

traveling in this way we would be able to planet hop or even solar system hop our way through the universe to explore using the most efficient way to travel there is.
