    It's simply too difficult and too expensive to send humans into space, because you have to create bubbles of Earth's environment to take with them, in order to survive.

    Yet. It was for most of humanity's history too difficult and expensive to even discover aluminum. Now, it's all over the place and will be all over the place even if/when World War III happens. Technology and infrastructure improves. It's pointless to lecture us on what is too difficult and expensive, when it's merely an engineering and economic challenge.
