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.

Humanity will never go past Earth at this point. It's too busy global-warming and religious-warring itself to oblivion.

I was gonna say something similar, then started reading OP's substack and I think they might agree: https://ghostofcarnot.substack.com/p/is-humanity-on-a-mission

I mean, we already did the moon, and probably will get back before shit gets too crazy to fund it.
