The space station is probably as far as we care to send humans for now...unless a dramatic technological breakthrough allows long range space travel and associated challenges to become feasible...

Space is to hostile an environment for todays Humans. The men who went to the moon, as well as the men who build the machines that took them there were a different bread of human then we have today. they used their brains more, they had brass balls, and were as lazy as the Human race we see around us today.
tell me how many people can get across town today without a GPS unit? these guys went to the moon with a computer system that was nothing then a combinations of a glorified calculator and a nice map.
how many times did we delay the space shuttle this last launch? why? because of weather? Apollo 12 go stuck by lightning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you didn't hear Pete Conrad *****ing about the weather. Why should he, hes got brass balls!
These guys didn't know what it meant to concede. To them Space was just the next challenge, another hurtle for man kind to concur, and they felt honored to be the men who got to push the boundary of our existence.
How did those Apollo guys even get to the launch pad in those unsafe cars without three point seat belts and air bags.... man, they could have died... maybe they should have stayed in their houses.
I wouldn't be surprised that if in my lifetime i see the end of all space travel. I mean its just to dangerous.
