Surface-to-intrasolar-space propulsion technology in its to reach escape velocity is prohibitively expensive.
Currently, we use combustion. My instincts tell me that an “electro-gravitic” paradigm in propulsion is next.
Before that, we must have a revolutionary breakthrough or discovery in our fundamental understanding of physics.
Basically, we’re not smart enough and too low on the Kardashev scale to get a decent ROI on such an endeavour.

Why do women avoid men so much?
They perceive men to be threats, nuisances, duplicitous, and generally contemptible, so its primarily out of fear.
The opinion on whether it’s justified, conditioned, misplaced, or outright misandry is hotly debated, but it’s my opinion that the roots of the fear of men is a very human epigenetic, prehistoric, and primal fear of the “other”; in this case, the “other” is a man.
- Comment on Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"? 2 months ago:
Short answer: no. But one should define terms, especially with legal implications.
“Hate Speech” always sounded a bit Orwellian to me. Just like “Homeland Security”. People should be allowed to speak about what they hate, even if it’s bigoted, racist, sexist, etc. if free thought and inquiry are valuable human rights.
In general, I believe the jurisprudence of free speech in our country (USA) essentially says beyond, libel, slander, inciting violence, or sedition, the government can’t imprison you for expression or forcibly silence you in a public forum.
Private organizations and companies can regulate speech within their domains and property to the extent that they don’t violate other laws or rights of other parties within and without their said domains and property.
I think that’s pretty fair.
