It's nice to imagine it, however if there's no real functioning prototypes, speculating how long it'll take is moot. The space shuttle first launched 42 years ago. One would think that we've be closer to manned earthly space travel by now. Any advancements over 4 decades I would consider it to be fairly small. The cost gap is astronomical and a diminishing return for almost any company seeking immediate profit.
The sad truth is with the way we're going on this planet, we might never get there before the next mass extinction - except this one will be artificially created.
I'm not a pessimist, just trying to be real. Peace!
