I would argue that we need a breakthrough in space technology before we can do proper and reasonable spaceflight.
We were able to land on the moon 60 years ago (why is Artemis IV not planned for 2029?) and nothing happend after.
Why would we have enough resources to start building stuff on moon OR even on Mars if we don't have enough resources (apparently) to make earth better?
So who will pay for any of it? And how much margin will be left after the other companies caught up to Space-X?
