I used to be entirely supportive of Space Exploration (capital S, capital E). But the older I get, the more cynical I become.
We're never going to get realistic inter-stellar travel in any case. The timelines are simply unrealistic. This solar system, and therefore humanity, are doomed to a firey death in about five or six billion years. That's if humanity lasts that long anyway, which I personally doubt.
It's kinda soul destroying to think this way, but unfortunately realistic in my opinion.
I think this has a great potential as a thread idea, if we abandon the cheap political slant and maybe move to a different forum. Would love to discuss this more.
