Except we go to space, we're currently seeing commercial space travel and companies are working on making said space travel affordable to the middle class as a vacation package. All of this has happend within the last 15 years. Space X, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin. I'm sure China and other countries will follow suit, especially once the tech gets better and old tech becomes sold to help fund research into advanced tech. Humanity will definitely leave this rock, we already are. With all the programs running, I can definitely see aging become a treatable disease, what better way to remedy overpopulation than to populate other planets.

We're building information highways in space right now, with project kuiper, starling and even Google has satellites that are trying to create a global and in the future inter Galactic web of sorts. Internet that connects planet to planet. I'm figuring that will be the next wave of misinformation, what service provider you use to get information from different planets.how trust worthy is it. What can you believe is going on in a planet light-years away. With the link set up, we would genuinely receive this information as it happens, but how edited and filtered would it be?

Most so called "space travel" is just going into low Earth orbit. The farthest we've been is the moon haven't been back for 50 years.

Yes, im aware, it's also our start. Like, do you just expect it to stop there? Hey guys we have achieved lower orbit we're good. The goal is space, the tech just has to catch up to the goal. It's not something that will happen quickly, but I can see it happening withing the next 30 years, possibly sooner depending on how fast machine learning can accelerate the development of new technologies.
