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.

I agree that with our current understanding we won't be going very far but like all future predictions it cannot account for scientific breakthroughs, even though you try to shoot that down at the end.
