Space is really spread out, and we will forever lack the means to get around it fast. Space also happens to be highly inhospitable to human life. For these reasons, I submit that no human will ever go farther than Mars.

Depends on physics breakthrough. If we break speed of light we can make an elevator size device that would transport person to Mars in couple of minutes. It's just science is poorly funded, nobody cares about abstract studies anymore.
