Abstract
This chapter will try to answer the question of what are the most important drivers leading to interstellar travel by humans within the next hundred years. Some observers claim that the main reasons behind space exploration are: (1) survival of the human species, (2) access to additional natural resources, and (3) the spreading of life in the universe.
