That was prohibitively expensive for the vast majority, but just as jet travel has come to the point where many millions now fly, so one day, he says, will space travel.
For some time now, synthetic biologists have recognized that rational design – creating entire bacterial genomes from scratch – is prohibitively difficult because of the vast complexity of living systems, of which we have only limited knowledge.
"Hearing screening is the first access point for the identification of hearing loss to initiate appropriate interventions that minimise and negate the negative impact of hearing loss," says Klopper. "At present, hearing test equipment is prohibitively expensive and inaccessible to the vast majority of South Africans".
"It's conceptually trivial but just about impossible to do," said Jack Gallant, head of UC Berkeley's Gallant Neuroscience Lab, who says the process also involves vast computing power and is prohibitively expensive in both time and money.
"The only other way to get water this clean is to use microbial bioreactors, which are prohibitively expensive and not feasible on the vast scale of the Salton Sea". The Salton Sea is a habitat for more than 400 species of resident and migrating birds.
And for retailers, especially small ones without vast advertising resources, it is sometimes prohibitively complicated to manage yet another ad campaign.
Farmers who try to pipe in water from faraway counties are attacked as bad neighbours; desalinating ocean water uses vast amounts of energy and is prohibitively expensive.Conservation, then, is still the most appealing approach.
Although generating art assets for a vast multicultural community may have proved prohibitively time consuming, there are ways Syndicate could have used its intricate architecture to hint at diversity.
However, the vast complexity of biological systems has heretofore rendered rational design prohibitively difficult.
The vast scale and a lack of systematic monitoring have made the GWDS SEA prohibitively difficult to accomplish in one comprehensive SEA.
