As the human ability to manipulate the environment grows with technology, we might find that scales that once felt unfathomably vast in the past now feel rather cramped in the present.
Or perhaps it'll forever be a hard limit.
In my dreams I've been shown perspectives from future space exploration. I don't know how, but at least at a star-system scale, there were ways to become gravitationally pulled towards distant, visually identifiable objects. It was really daunting and it takes the optimistic courage of an explorer to do something like that. On the other hand, I've also lined up in what seemed to be a "Gateway" Airport, walked through and found myself somewhere else. Who knows..

-no concrete plans for space exploration (just hype to gauge public/investor interest, I suppose)
-Space Force is nominally for defense, not necessarily for advancing space science or technology or exploration. They might pull off some orbital hijinks and develop some useful tech for exploring though
I admit that there are more NASA partnered telescopes in the works than I would've thought:
