Well I dont know if infinite growth is possible, but it seems pretty clear that if we can reduce the cost of space launch by a few more orders of magnitude, which seems plausible to me, then we're probably set for a few thousand years of continued exponential growth. And this is with fully reusable chemical rocket systems. We still don't have a unified theory of physics, so who knows what propulsion methods might be possible in the future.
