TFA concluded no such thing from my reading:

“As far as human space travel goes, it’s probably best that it stays in the realm of science fiction, at least for the foreseeable future.”

And no arguments for that conclusion? C’mon: radiation, the effects of microgravity on human bodies, none of which we have good solutions for…yet. The author argues that we don’t have good solutions, and probably won’t within their lifetime. If you’ve got counter-arguments, let’s hear them, but calling the TFA’s sound arguments “pearl clutching” isn’t productive.
