                  I well remember the last departure from the moon, about fifty years ago, I think. We were all full of the media hype about it being the start of many years of moon exploration, manned bases etc. and I was interested to hear my father (1916-2001) say 'I don't think they'll go again'. So far, he's been right.

                        Sometimes i wish i will live forever just so i can watch history in the making, key seems to be having private enterprise involved, they can innovate faster but space x certainly need a competitor, is a bad idea to rely on just one delivery system, shuttle showed that,

                          , Yes, Musk and Bezos and the rest of them can just buzz off to Mars and not come back, that would be fantastic.
