Humans will never go past Mars (ghostofcarnot.substack.com)

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.

Never is a really long time. I don't feel good committing to never. I'll agree not in my lifetime, though.

Once our technological society fails there is no longer access to space. You cannot reboot this in nongeological time span.
