How fast can you reach space flight? Meaning getting space flight with the least amount of techs.
 
I believe the earliest you can get to it is roughly 40th techout of 47th (with the 47th being the future tech).

Most of the techs need to be researched before you can do space flights.

The ones that don't need to be researched before you do is superconductor, future tech, globalization, networking, mass media and printing press.

That's just based off the tech chart from http://www.civfanatics.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=1791&original=1&c=26
 
Well I don't know... once you get university it unlocks all the techs the opponents have researched... So it could be < what's on the chart.

Um the university tech itself does not grant you techs known by other civs...

If you build the Great library of Alexandria, (available with writing), you get for free any tech known by 2 other civs. However, anyone researching the university tech obsoletes the wonder, so you won't get any of the techs past university with it.

Other then that, you can build the Apollo program to learn all remaining technologies that you haven't researched, but that requires space flight and comes so late in the game that your probably better off just researching the techs yourself.

He didn't say University gives you techs, he said it unlocks them. Which is pretty cool, if true, I never noticed it before! It means you could theoretically research Space Flight right after University, if you were behind in the tech race.

nah, thats also not true. He must be mixing up Great Library and university obsoleting it. Also maybe he researched university, then was given the chance to tech skip
