Childhood is reading stories about something called the "Cape of Good hope" and the ships that crashed there.

Adulthood is realizing

  • It's still a Thing
  • It still fucking S U C K S
  • We didn't fix shit we just coped or avoided it outright

But yeah no u/Powerful_Scratch2469 people have started to try and go that way but the losses in time and resources are absolutely grueling. Even if you just started to say "okay we're just disregarding fuel costs entirely" you just have to plan completely differently (for one, the crew are people and might need to be swapped on this crass a detour) and some cargo can't be kept fresh & relevant that long so even if you completely disregarded trying to make a profit or break even it would still suck.

Bunch of articles about that floating about.
