Interesting to note that “tech X is decades” away is actually a nonsensical statement in itself. If we all agree not to research it, then tech X will never arrive (excepting alien visitation). Pedantic point but also a reminder to avoid fatalism and that as well as extending R&D times, we can also reduce them (see: Apollo).
