SpaceX is no better than NASA by my opinion. A proper critique was done in 1970 and still applies today. See link. I grew up in Houston & with astronauts & their kids because LBJ was from Texas. Seen space projects my entire life. Focus should be on our planet and robots on the others. The ego centric view of manned space flight is an illness by my opinion. 


Hey, thx. I had heard of, but not heard, that poem before.

As a counter, for the inspiring need for humans in space: try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD1ixTr4JWY&t=50s

Otherwise I do generally prefer robotic exploration. Building and flying modernized versions of this would be fun: https://dartslab.jpl.nasa.gov/References/pdf/2019-mars-heli.pdf

hopefully tomorrow Hera launches!
