Instead of putting Men and Women on Moon or Mars or Jupiter's Moon, how about the new mission be "create environment for 100 spaceX like companies to thrive" I reject the premise that government should be creating these missions or setting these big audacious goals
- maxst 10y agoThe government is leading the way because they have NASA budget to spend on completely unprofitable, but scientifically interesting projects.
