[ExI] Spaceflight: The only valid case for waiting

[Adrian Tymes]

"Promise ourselves a great adventure"?

Such promises are made to be broken, and too many know it among those who
would need to be appeased.

We can never "solve our problems down here", in a permanent and complete
sense.  Declaring that something must wait for that to happen first is
literally declaring that said thing must never happen.

This applies regardless of what the thing being deferred is, but especially
when that thing could help address "our problems down here".  Spaceflight,
fusion power, you name it.
