Commence countdown until some syndicate of commercial barons decides to buy up Space X and the other private space agencies, pumps a few billion dollars into it every year, with the aim of "sky-mining" on Saturn or Jupiter. It won't be curiosity or necessity that drives our space travel deeper. It will be commercialism... sadly.

...into the light of a dark black night.
