A lot (most?) of Sci-fi space fiction relies on FTL travel. That's extremely unlikely to ever happen, which is IMO a good thing, as it keeps us contained.

  which is IMO a good thing, as it keeps us contained. Disagree. The obvious alternative to human interstellar travel is human-built Von Neumann probes, which are more likely to eat the universe than human hands would've been.

      Yeah but he's kind of an idiot. Imagine spending years building single-use flying maces and never thinking to put a blade on the end.

  This general misanthropy is boring.
