   Let me correct your statement :   
   «The best we can hope FOR NOW is a temporary base on the moon to   
   accomodate short stays.  We are tethered to earth UNTIL WE DISCOVER A   
   WAY TO TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT. We have an impressive track record of   
   science and technology surpassing the wildest science fiction. »

   Sci fi is often the inspiration, the springboard, that push scientists   
   to search for and find ways to break limits, do what was once deemed   
   impossible.

   Don't say «never». Humanity very often did what previous generations   
   said could never happen, was impossible.   
      
   It may take a few generations before the breakthrough happen, but, it   
   still may happen.
