Well they said the same thing about an atom bomb in the 30's and look at what happened. While yes, we are still a ways away I would argue that we are closer than you think.
My point is if we don't pursue "Colonizing our Solar System" we can use that money, which would be billions and billions of dollars and invest it into a FTL craft.
Do you truly think anyone in the 30's ever imagined that a nuclear bomb was possible, what about an airplane to someone living in the mid 1800's
The US is transitioning right now to make this a reality in the next 50 years or so.
Could you clarify that paragraph I don't understand what you are trying to say. Are you suggesting that we spend our time colonizing our solar system and at the same time investigate wormholes for future space travel, would it not just be cheaper to invest our resources into FTL technologies instead of chasing wormholes?
There was no "scientific knowledge" that led us to creating the Atom Bomb other than a few of Einstein's theories.

Well that's just silly.
