I find this comment actually more insightful than the GP.

How often have I talked with people and mentioned, that in terms of social behavior, we make such slow progress, if any. If we could end human greed and other bad things, how easy it woule be for us to go to space. If money did not count and all would work for a great goal of advancing into space, we would be there already.

What many call "human nature" (which I do not believe) is what holds us back.

Slow and painful indeed, but considering we are animals the progress is massive. Just take a look at how brutal nature is, social darwinisn is the standard, decisions made on instincts, putting yourself first.
