educate me please.
when did we do some serious space travel in the last decade(s)? and i don't think the hop to moon or living in a tiny space station comes anywhere near the experience we need for real missions.
- angersock 11y ago"Real missions"? You shouldn't be so dismissive. We've solved the "can people live in tiny quarters for long periods of time...in spaaaace?" problem with the ISS and numerous earth-based missions. We've solved the "can we accurately and remotely steer a craft out to the edge of the solar system?" with numerous probes and robots, such as Voyager, the various Mars rovers, and others. We've solved the "can we land on another body and then come back with the crew and samples" problem. That's all the empirical proof that we need other than, you know, doing them all at the same time for like a Mars mission or something.
