When they landed on the moon, I thought for sure that by the year 2000 we would be on Mars.

Instead politicians convinced everyone, or at least themselves, that all that money would be better spent on earth, and they killed the space program. So 50 years later we can’t even get back to the moon, a mere three days from home. We still have poor people, we still have highways with potholes, the decision to remain earthbound has in my opinion been a stupefyingly stupid mistake.

It sure killed all the adventure we were hoping for.
