Well it depends if you mean manned space ship, Lasereth. We've already sent an unmanned space ship out of our solar system and two more (i think) are about to follow.
Plus look at how much we've accomplished in the last 100. We didn't even have passenger airplanes in 1900, yet with this century we've already sent people into space, and we're almost done with a space station. Imagine what we might be able to do in another 100 years.
We've had the technology to set up a permanent habitable zone on Mars for the last decade or more. It's simply our desire that has been lacking. My point is that desires can change fast, and we could easily have an explosion of new space technology tomorrow. Think, if we pickced up a radio transmission from an alien civilization how much that would change our motivation for space travel.
