"Manned spaceflight is going nowhere because there's nowhere to go." Seriously, who IS this genius?"
The whole point of space travel is to prove to ourselves that we can. How can be be sure that power generation in space is uneconomical? Look how far the species has come in the last 500 years, let alone the last 100 years. We have proven the unproven before, it just takes time.
We explore to understand the world and its workings, you can't deny human nature.
