Thanks for the insight. That's more what I was talking about. It's the thing that made me realize that space exploration is neat and important, but it's currently statistically meaningless to my life and the life of even my kids as far as a sci-fi type scenario where we all just kick around in space with our space dogs or whatever.

That's before you get into all the "not supporting life" problems of every other body in our solar system, and the "can't get out of the solar system with current tech" problem.

It's a hard splash of reality and I'm mostly curious about any new news on breaking that barrier where jet setting around space becomes a reality.
