Your aspirations are pretty much ambitious and I am impressed of it. But, I wanna ask you how actually will you make it reality? The space is vast and extreme and how would make it journey to interstellar space and to Black Hole? Black Hole isn't something as an easy task even if you have ability to reach to stars. Black hole is the most strangest and extreme object in this universe. It isn't something to land on it, you know well. It is the dead star with extreme gravity. Black Hole is first predicted by Maths and may be the good try to understand black hole is to understand it by Maths only not to have a jump in it.
