Imagine all you want, but as engineers, there are much more efficient

Right. Clipper ships. I mean dreadnaughts. Wait, I mean biplanes.
No, monowing, how silly of me. Wait, jets, that's right, jets. Hey,
this constant pushing the envelope thing seems to go against your idea
that just because something is not feasible now it will be considered
idiotic forever.
In the 80's, robots were all the rage, but
companies die out and very few even build them anymore for
non-industrial purposes.
Unless there is a need, as you say. Explain to me what you think would
be needed to get a large portion of humanity living on the Moon and in
orbiting space colonies. And please do not include robots or any sort
or human-piloted rig that includes manipulator arms that could possibly
be converted into a weapon later or a powerful enough energy source to
power all that. Basically explain where you get the idea that our needs
at this moment have anything to do with what our needs may be 100 years
from now.
