Carrying the torch? Yes - advancing fast enough to allow deep space travel, colonies, etc in the next 100 years? Highly doubtful.

Google has a shite load of money, but not full NASA budget money and resources.



NASAs 2016 budget is like ~$19b
Google brought in ~$73.5B revenue in 2015..

We have the technology today to colonize our solar system and to terraform near-habitable planets. Deep space travel.. well.. we should start in our own neighborhood first.

In the next 100 years humans and robots will be one and the same. We will be able to create now bodies and move our minds between bodies and machines. We will be able to transport our mind to other places, just like we send an email and then load the mind into the host body for the function needed. Many of the current limitations of the body will cease to exist...
