You were asked – TMP link

How Much Handwavium in Your Sci-Fi?

On a scale of 0 to 11, you said:

24% = "11"
19% = "6"
10% – "5"

Which makes a bit of sense since no human has actually been capable of journeying past the moon in my entire lifetime.

EJNashill, there's a difference between "being capable" and "actually doing"; For example most human beings are "capable" of being polite and respectful at all times on the internet.

In your example, it's more political will, popular opinion and finance than any scientific or engineering hurdles that have been the issue.
