The principal of the speed of light. Many people dismiss the possability of long distance space travel because even at the speed of light it'd take forever to get anywhere. Never once do they allow the thought that there might be a different way to get there enter their head.
Short people should be sent into space, not average height people. Short people are smaller, require less material, weigh less, and eat less, meaning it'd be a heck of a lot cheaper to blast them off.
