Too bad we still can't exploit our moon, much less a nearby planet like Venus.

Perhaps in the next 56 years we'll manage to accomplish something tangible.

Cheer up Brad. Things are much brighter than they seem. . .
The idea of colonizing the Moon and other planets is resilient. There are always people who want to do it (wise or not) and their numbers are quietly growing. All we have to do is start thinking like responsible adults and find ways that colonization actually benefits people who pay for it. That is not a new thought, but it is where things start in space.
