　　Most people believe future humans are going to outer space, rather than inner space. They don't realize that space is rapidly becoming an informational desert, and that there will be very few people interested in going into space for any reason whatsoever in the future.

　　In 2050 there will likely be a “Planet Channel” for every planet of the solar system, but most people will be very content to watch what the robots are doing rather than run down Olympus Mons on Mars in person, at 1/3 gravity, as fun as that may sound. By the middle of this century，our “eyes in space” will have run out of almost everything that might be interesting to find. As the astronomer Martin Harwit observed in the excellent and very underappreciated Cosmic Discovery,1981, we have been running out of unique astronomical features to discover for decades.

　　By the mid 21st century there will be a few areas of the physical spectrum (范围), like gravity waves, which will remain underexplored. But virtually everything else will have been modeled well to a first approximation (概算), and our simulation science will be clearly more fruitful at that time than our data driven explorations. Already, Hubble sees to the edge of the universe. What more can we ask? That's like having a map of Earth. Once you get the first one, you pay a lot less for the next ones.
