Again, "progress towards".
If one commercial passenger carrying space ship is launched in the next 50 years it'll count and they are already building them.

I am aware that getting to other solar systems is not currently easy/possible, but I see no reason for this to limit long term ambitions to what we are currently capable of.

negativity/reality
I'm working on the principle that the universal laws of physics are, y'know, universal. I think this is currently in vogue amongst scientists.
Also with the view that the universe is expanding at an ever increasing rate. In 50 years time those unattainable solar systems will be further away.

You keep answering as if I had said I wanted to be living on another planet in 50 years. I give up on this conversation.
