Space is really spread out, and we will forever lack the means to get around it fast. Space also happens to be highly inhospitable to human life. For these reasons, I submit that no human will ever go farther than Mars.

Random thought. If WW3 happens and a handful of people bail on earth and escape to the moon, would it actually be possible to manufacture a base and survive up there without any further support?
