The ability to detect planets outside our system is jumping by leaps and bounds and I can't even imagine what we will be able to detect in 50 years. Insterstellar travel might be totally in the realm of science fiction, but so was the internet and the computer, about 100 years ago. There isn't a major push to go into space, because there's not major reason for mankind to colonize it. I'm sure if we found some invaluable material inthe asteriod belt, we would spend trillion of dollars to exploit it.
