I'm glad we've found some common ground DJ.
Weltall spoke of the difficulty of logistics... a fact that is not lost upon me... and while I know it would be difficult, it is certainly feasible. The reason why we haven't been on Mars for the past three, or even four decades, is that people just don't care. People in today's America are so focused on what is best for themselves, that they don't care about advancing humanity as a whole. We are living at the threshold of what should be the greatest evolutionary step of any self-sentient being: moving from the nursery of its homeworld, out into space. No matter what planet life comes from, isn't that mandatorily the greates epoch of conceivable evolution? Think of it on a GRANDER SCHEME... withdraw from the pettiness of your single life, and view humanity as a whole on a timeline... where will the next milestone be? 2030? 2060? 2100? Or maybe there will be no more milestones, and maybe 1969 truly did, legitimately, empirically, mark the PINNACLE OF HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT... after that date, humanity lost the gleam of wonder in his eyes, and society stagnated into a decadent, self-satisfying cesspool.
