In many, many cases - possibly most, anecdotally judging by my own
experience - there is a temptation to say 'can't be done" when a closer
examination reveals the truth is "can't be done BY THAT PARTICULAR MEANS".

For instance, it is well known that it is impossible to simply accelerate
via rockets to faster than the speed of light.  There exist theoretical
ways to travel faster than light, just not via rockets...and to travel off
of Earth, even to set up human habitation off of Earth, does not require
travel beyond the speed of light: many wonders await once the financial
cost of travelling around our own solar system comes down.  Finances are
rarely limited by physics.

Saving ourselves, on an individual basis, from boredom and senility is
within our own power.  (Not as much collectively, as some will choose
boredom and senility, and resist being "rescued".)
