We need 10-10000 the speed of light to do decent stuff. Today's news. Habitable planets 1200 light years away. Ok. We need 1000x light speed at least to make this feasible.

He certainly had a point, tho.  Until the speed of light is considerably surpassed - maybe never - it will be much more cost effective to send machines.  Of course, an earth-bound humanity would eventually die along with the earth, but that's so far in the future that it makes no sense to plan for colonization now just to escape that disaster.  Manned space flight is more romantic than practical.

Anyway. That was fun. Here's some quotes to mull over

"Man will never reach the moon regardless of all future scientific advances." --Dr. Lee DeForest, "Father of Radio & Grandfather of Television."
"The bomb will never go off. I speak as an expert in explosives." --Admiral William Leahy, US Atomic Bomb Project
"There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom." --Robert Millikan, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1923

"Space travel is utter bilge."
Richard van de Riet Wooley, Astronomer Royal of Great Britain:

On appointment as Astronomer Royal, he reiterated his long-held view that "space travel is utter bilge". Speaking to Time in 1956, Woolley noted
"It's utter bilge. I don't think anybody will ever put up enough money to do such a thing . . . What good would it do us? If we spent the same amount of money on preparing first-class astronomical equipment we would learn much more about the universe . . . It is all rather rot"
Woolley's protestations came just one year prior to the launch of Sputnik, five years before launch of the Apollo Program, and thirteen years before the first landing on the moon.
