I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.

We've gotta reinvest in space travel. We should've never left the moon.

Science fiction was rocket-mad for about 40 years until aerospace hit a brick wall about 1970. I would not write off space colonisation or exploration completely, but we are profoundly ill adapted for going boldly into outer space.

Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating.

Any beings advanced enough to traverse interstellar distances are at least a thousand years beyond our technical level. Spending gobs of time examining our missiles is equivalent to sending the Air Force back to the Middle Ages and insisting they examine the chain mail factories.
