Honestly, all I want in life is that one day we can take a picture of another planet somewhere, zoom in, and see evidence of life. A fucking tree, a structure, or something. I would die intellectually satisfied.

Will be happy to see it launch, but if the entire thing blows up it's probably a good thing (as long as nobody or any useful infrastructure doesn't get hurt). The sooner Artemis is rethought around Starship the better.No, seriously, NASA’s Space Launch System is ready to take flight
