I fully disagree. Going anyway in the solar system need not more science, 
simply a big rocket such sea dragon putting some thousand tons into orbit. 
The sea dragon was planned with the technological level found in a ship yard. 
Not hyperscience in any form. It is a will problem, nothing more. Our society 
has turned its back to such significant quantitative progress because it is 
about infrastructure and material world. "Progress" must be quantitative and 
as less material as possible.

This is a religious rooted ideology, nothing more.
