3. I've got nothing against robotic space exploration.

Humanity can easily afford that. It's not money wasted.

I highly doubt ordinary humans will ever have a significant presence in space. We're just too damned fragile. Keeping humans alive in space is horrendously costly in terms of resources and money.

A few more humans might visit the moon and with any luck return safely. But I think that will be the end of manned space exploration for a long time, maybe forever if our current world civilization collapses.

As a society we could have safe comfortable housing, healthy food, clean water, and appropriate medical care for everyone, right alongside large investments in scientific research if certain political and religious ideologies weren't continuously dragging us down.
