Sounds like a case of featuritis brewing. It's very easy to get caught in an evil cycle of rising expectations that move the actual launch further and further away. Let's ship an MVP first, launching early and often.
I suppose I can't disagree with you. The technology around space exploration should continue to advance, however I think that we won't make any real progress on colonizing the universe, or even the solar system, until we are much less fragile.
I agree and I salute you for giving way for jest in face of serious argument. To follow up along your reasoning, I think the weakness of man sets it's own limitations without us having to make conscious decisions on how far we should strive in each phase of human development. Rather push the boundaries until they push back.
