From wanderers to warp bubbles: why ‘Go Incredibly Fast’ feels like the next chapter

How Erik Wernquist and Dr. Harold “Sonny” White carry Carl Sagan’s spirit of exploration into the physics of tomorrow.

Directed by Erik Wernquist | Written by Erik Wernquist & Harold “Sonny” White | Narrated by Harold “Sonny” White | Music by Cristian Sandquist

For as long as we’ve had fire and stories, there’s been that one person staring past the edge of the village, wondering what’s out there.

“Go Incredibly Fast” feels like a love letter to that restless few — the wanderers who traded coastlines for continents, continents for worlds, and now, worlds for stars.

The short film, created by digital artist Erik Wernquist for the Limitless Space Institute, is narrated by aerospace engineer and warp-drive tinkerer Dr. Harold “Sonny” White. It’s less than five minutes long, but it plays like a quiet manifesto: a reminder that the open road never ended at the shore. 

It just moved… up, way up, into the stars.

It starts with a future that feels strangely ordinary.

We’ve made it to the Moon. To Mars. Maybe there are families in lava-tube suburbs on the lunar far side, kids kicking dust at the edge of a Martian canyon, people commuting between orbital habitats the way we take the bus.

Wanderers - a short film by Erik Wernquist [Official Version]

I never get tired of watching this short. That prose. Sagan's soothing voice. Makes me think of KSR's Mars Trilogy, or his 2312 novel. Makes you hopeful for the future. That someday we'll make it off this pale blue dot and head for the stars...
