As usual, we define words very differently.
“Bonkers” to me would be near light travel, permanent installations on multiple planets and moons, etc. We’ve basically sent a few probes out that have some cool gizmos. The movie 2001: A Space Odyssey wasn’t supposed to be outlandish. It was what they thought we would be doing by then. And here we are a quarter century after that having barely scratched the surface of near space travel. Yet people want me to believe that we’ve got machines capable of defying physics? Sorry, I ain’t buying it.
Let's dissect the "tech" from 2001:
Reusable space planes so reliable they're suitable for airline use? Nope. Not even close.
Heavy lift capacity such that you can build and operate a space station with centripetal gravity with commercial services? Nope. Not even close.
Heavy lift capacity & regular scheduled flights from earth orbit to the moon? Nope. Not even close.
Large, robust lunar bases? Nope. Not even a twinkle in someone's eye.
Ubiquitous flat screen technology? Ok. Not in 2001, though.
Computer expert systems with conversational AI (with or without murderous intent) with accurate, real time voice recognition as well as visual input & comprehension? Maybe. Might be getting part way there. 22 years after the prediction.
Human hibernation for extended voyages? No one has even a clue how to do this.
Nuclear plasma drive for large space vehicles suitable for interplanetary flight? Who, the what?
Our space programs, either government based or commercial are laughably far away from any of this. Our "space transport" is locked into the same mantra as it was in the late 40's, with some marginal improvements in thrust/weight & control, allowing some reusability. Our presence in earth orbit is in a can that probably smells of feet and is subject to constant bickering between partners AND still restricted in occupancy because we can't figure out how to build a re-entry vehicle that sits more than 3. Any and all are still non-robust & remarkably fragile. Even our unmanned efforts are locked into whatever physical size the roman candle de jour can tolerate, and people lose their minds whenever one fires off with an RTG because "it's nuc'lar!". Plus it takes decades to reach the outer planets.
The one thing we've gotten pretty good at is shrinking electronics, logic based computing power, and design and integration. It lets us do some ok things. But all of this is nothing more than putting a FADEC on your 1920's tractor.
