Nice thoughts. In the words of Arthur Clarke, Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. So, nothing is impossible and probably some of the ME ideas, concepts and technologies can be real. We just need to wait. And you right, we are stuck on Earth. We have enough technologies for Mars colonization, but we still sending rovers instead of humans. Not because of lack of finance, but because majority of Earth population who are taxpayers believes, that we have to "solve" all our problems here, on Earth. Investing money to increase quality of life and things like that. They are blind, saying that investing in space exploration is a waste of money. But it is good, that time is changing and such companies like Planetary Resources and Mars One is becoming real. And yeah, at least we have a Playstation.
