I thoroughly enjoyed this video as it illuminates one of the key factors that throws a shadow over the technophiles dreams and desires to explore space. The fact is we aren't ready to even make the journey. Not just the lack of actual tech to take us to even the closest of planets a mere 4 light years away but as a species, as thinking animals we have not even moved past the limits of aggression and violence as revealed in "the Russian experiment" (no spoilers).
Truth is, for all our aspirations, we are still a poor example of a higher life form and are only just entering anything close to intelligence (tech gadgets don't count. We might as well still be rubbing sticks together for fire). Deep space exploration is a whimsy, the fantasy for men who think they've accomplished something. Such hubris should be an embarrassment. We still have a lot of exploring to do... in the space between our ears.
