Really was a marvelous run, too bad we just kinda quit shortly after we got to the nearest solar body. We send drones for recon to mars and asteroids and deep space now but haven’t made huge leaps in some time.

The promised lunar bases and Martian colonies are so far out still.. the Jovian colonies/shipyards are still pure sci-fi dreams at this point

thanks Reagan! Oh and USSR for dropping out of the race. Luckily the Los Angeles engineers were able to use their trophy wives in porno to keep paying the bills instead.

Yeah, almost like something happened in the 70s that put the breaks on most scientific and social progress in the west.

The risk is pretty immense. Getting it right and not having any losses is a tremendous undertaking. I would love to see run at Mars. But the interest is low and everyone is more concerned with bombs and bullshit. It would be nice if we would explore again.
