That's the big leap.

Skip Mars, go all the way to Alpha Centauri.

Think of the spin offs.

Seriously, fuck Mars, no magnetic field, no point.

Might as well go for broke.

China ain't gonna do it.

Civilization Science Victory.

Manifest Destiny.

You go back to Appomattox Court House.

You get a meeting with US Grant.

You tell him Alpha Centauri is theoretically doable.

What does he say?

Fuck that, waste of time, OR, my God, it's full of stars?

Common misconception. People understood there were worlds beyond our own since forever. You can read John Milton's Paradise Lost where he talks about Satan visiting many worlds on his way to our own. People never thought the Earth was flat either until like last year.

The Nazis wanted to be the Space Soldiers.

The Soviets wanted to be the Space Soldiers

But in the end, the US Navy was the ones who got there first.

Keep going. What else is Eagle One going to do?

Think of the spin offs.

Spartan UBI to the stars.

Cha-ching.

This isn't an end of history. This is cyclical history. It's over dude. The project was fun but we squandered our chances thanks to the Myths of the 20th Century. Someday some other Rome may get to the stars but not this one.

You're too negative.

You got the Millennial disease,

Millennials will pass, it's just a phase.

Big Green Machine rolls on without you, who knew?

We haven't had a serious NASA since all the Nazis died. It's literally a diversity hire sludge fund now.
