we will come to see human limitations as sacred and joyous and look back on them the way you look back on your childhood

Personally, I reject the idea of limitations.

I watched three humans travel farther than any other in history. Not because of any one skill, but because of a combination of skill, technology and courage.

The idea that we’re some kind of fixed, finite thing that is reduced to IQ, horsepower or wealth is sad and dehumanizing.

A thousand years from now I expect we’ll still be watching humans do new and wonderful things. If anyone doesn’t think that’s true, then they’re only pro-human in the most patronizing way.
