I very much doubt we'll be out in space, except in the metaphorical sense - which we've pretty well mastered. It's all talk. Put two humans in a space ship for any length of time and you have two crazy people with murder on their minds. And all astronauts so far have taken months to recover, suffered sever bone loss and psychological disorientation. It ain't happening. Just a big waste of money and talent. And the idea of abandoning Earth and colonizing Mars is for gullible fools, among whom we can include the physicist, Stephen Hawking: Mars has no life, whereas, to this point, we have some signs of it.

Yeah, I found that really shocking. That fools like Musk and Bezos dream of space is not surprising, but how can someone as reputedly smart and scientifically literate as Hawking?
