    Yea, I remember a documentary when I was in 5th grade in 2007 talking about how we would have landed on mars by 2015. 2025 and not even any real progress by elon going towards mars.

    Humanity lost its ambition like I lost mine, complete with self abuse

      Werner von Braun, the primary architect of the Saturn V rocket that took us to the moon, had plans to get us to Mars by 1984. Not sure that was completely realistic, but it’s hard to believe that 40 years after that we don’t even have any serious plans.

      I’m sorry to hear about your self abuse. This internet stranger is hoping that you’re in a better place.
