Instead of focusing on the science, the video focuses on the movie, Interstellar. As if the backronym TARS was the most important part.

I remember seeing this.

It's alright IF we stick to earth. HOWEVER, what would be much smarter would be to first engage all resources we have to industrializing the moon. Once we can have industrial facilities on the moon, we can do practically anything we want. Build heavy launching platforms in orbit? Done. Spinning thingies that launch stuff in any direction we want with a recovery time of less than an hour? Done.

In other words, industrializing the moon = much better investment than attempting post Neptunian exploration missions.
