I don’t want to be stuck on this rock forever

I have some sad news...

  • you're stuck on this rock forever
  • anyone alive today who sets foot on mars will likely regret it before they die
  • robots will conduct all worth while exploration and discovery this millennium

This guy must be from the future. Oh wise one tell us all your secrets.

Ever heard of having some hope my guy? Hate to break it to you but I hope humanity leaves this rock and isn't stuck here forever. If humanity stays on this planet forever we will 100% go extinct either by war, virus, or the most obvious asteroid impacts or the guaranteed one the sun expanding over a few billion years. If we want to live till the end of time and space itself we HAVE to leave.

The tech we will rely on for interplanetary travel is pretty much settled science, it just takes time and money to implement.

Hoping for unexpected breakthroughs isn't going to help much.
