AHHHHH WE’RE ALL GUNNA DIE!!!!!!

sigh anyway…

And theres nothing we can do about any of it anyway. So why worry? They'll probably try and tax us for it

A lot of folks mentioning technological advances over the years but we have to remember that they all are “grounded” in some way that makes sense on Earth.

We still have no energy source that makes space travel feasible at the speeds needed. We still have not conquered how gravity needs to work on spaceships (gravity is so important to human health and development). We still don’t have an answer to combating radiation other than burdensome suits that make it hard to move freely.

Our solar system really contains no planet worth settling on other than Mars and we have no answer for how to deal with the cold temp, lack of magnetic field, lack of breathable atmosphere, lack of water, etc. etc.

Never. Ecological collapse will destroy industrial civilization long before we get close.

We don't have enough resources to make it there. We have a bunch of space shops buried in the ground in the form of tickle me elmos

It's not even huge acceleration, even minor acceleration gets you places relatively quick. I mean, mars is like 2 days away at one gee acceleration, and I think Pluto is two weeks.

Ok but that’s starting in 1861. You can’t ignore literally every other year before the civil war began in regard to technology boom. Ever since Charles H Duell, commissioner of US patent office in 1889 indicating that the patent office would soon be Shrinking in size saying that “everything that can be invented has been invented.” There’s been more advancement in technology from that point until today than in all of time before 1889. Unless technology logarithmically continues to advance for a straight 200 years we’d still be far from it. Hope I’m wrong.

200-400.. depends on what if any set backs in civilization

I say less than that, it's only been 120 since the Wright Brothers took their first flight and we've advanced so much since then.

Your assessment is probably way more accurate than mine. I am a bit of a "fan boy" when it comes to getting out there and exploring. I just hope I get to see the start of it before I vacate the mortal world.

That's fair.

My thinking is along the lines of funding for such projects, past promises by governments as well as private sector (looking at you Elon), and any upcoming recessions that would also affect any progress.

I suspect I wouldn't hear anything at all, as my eardrums would get blown out pretty quickly by the changes in air pressure.

If technology keeps advancing rapidly like it’s been and we manage not to blow ourselves up, I’d say maybe even less then 400 years maybe in 200 years ww1 happened a little over 100 years ago, and the civil war is coming up on 200 years ago. Look at the state of the world between those times and now, so much has changed that I wouldn’t doubt to see space travel happen on the regular with in 200 years with even colonization in space stations above planets

Maybe, I don't know. I just have an exciting feeling that over the next couple of years things are going to move a bit more quickly in terms of space exploration. Can't explain it it's just a feeling I have.

Wishful thinking more than likely but a guy can dream.
