If someone were to record a flawless, 4K video of an actual alien walking around or a spaceship flying overhead, people would just think it’s a deep fake.

    These are noteworthy and relevant breakthroughs, yes, but I don’t see us doing anything dramatic with this technology in less than a decade, maybe two. And that’s just for something like regrowing teeth, way longer timeline for anything fancier. We’re still just basically optimising old tech right now. New battery designs incoming, solar panel tech is getting better (slowly), we are moving, yes. But it’s like watching people paint the living room at this point, and I assume long-distance space travel still isn’t “cheap” for them, even with their fancy manoeuvering.
