Nope
I think it'll happen within next 10 years
Maybe even 5
Man I wish.
I’d love to have my kids be like, “Dad, I’m going to Mars this weekend” “Cool, stay hydrated”.
That level would be probabaly next 20~30 years
But I think with current R&D
Mars supply missions will be possible within next few years
Just letting you know, all this liberal stuff may seem to kill hope, but we have a really freaking awesome future in space to look foward too
I also think LEO private soace stations will be a game changer
Like Axiom
Definatley a HAB i would want to stay in! So cool!
hahaha
humans aren't becoming a "real spacefaring nation" for at least another century or two
And when we run into the covenant we'll be wiped out. The end.
Of course real space fairing civilization will be in a while
But the initial kickstart is very very soon
We already got the space industry privatized
We got the Space Force up to keep our foregin adversaries and they're space domination attempts under control
uh
space is barely privatised
the only sector that isn't is comms
I didn't expect any of this in this short amount of time. Honestly when I saw the last shuttle mission, I was really upset and thought space travel would suck and not make much progress for the next 50 years
everything else is HEAVILY subsided by the government
We got over 100 kickstaring companies ranging from cubesats to small sat launchers
tiny shit
Tiny but a HUGE move
a huge move in the right direction
We're able to fit the same old tech from a billion dollar satellite
but we need a move many orders of magnitude greater
Into a tiny 10x10x10cm cube
Like that's just insane
uh
you sure?
I uh seriously doubt that
This is a generalized statment
Of course
But you get the idea
you ain't fitting multi million dollar spectrometers or giant lenses in a 10cm^3 cube
