I don't think so, I think we'll at least planet hop, especially if we learn how to cryogenically suspend people.
Space is a barrier we HAVE to overcome as so long as we stick with the mindset of 'Earth is the only planet we can have', the current globalist scumbags of the world will ALWAYS have a leash on us.
Because space exploration and exploitation is the OPPOSITE of what they want.
After all their actions I believe this one thing about globalists, they are NOT legacy builders. All their actions seem to be focused on retaining power than passing it on and using scarcity as a weapon. They are the modern vampires.
Now any other empire in history from Greek, Roman, Hun hell even British and a certain Reich would see space if they had the technology to just reach the belt as a perfect conquest. A vast area with an abundance of every resource imaginable and a canvas to build monuments that would be enjoyed for centuries, it's perfect for those that are the opposite of globalists.
What makes you think the current globalist scumbags will be able to stop it? Even the most pure expression of such dedicated effort (North Korea) still has defectors every now and then. The moment privatised space travel takes off is the moment authoritarian freaks will always have to spend extra effort to ignore the fact that they are locked in permament failed/lose status. It will only take one bored billionaire or gorbachev-like figure to become a tiny runaway spark of freedom that will remain forever beyond their grasp much like both Voyagers probes are right now.
It makes me wonder if a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away something like that already happened and the authoritarians left behind got so spiteful that they keep expanding the Bootes Void just to catch up to one such runaway spark of freedom.

What makes you think the current globalist scumbags of the world won't seize control of space travel, and will allow anyone to leave it?

They don't even want us leaving our sleep pods to take a walk around our "15 minute smart cities" without permission.

Or maybe I'm just waxing lyrical...
