The young’uns will say, “60 years! What took so long??!!”
We went from the first manned flight to the moon in 65 years. A Mars landing should have started planning in 1970 or earlier once the moon was reached. Instead we decided to sink a tonne of dough in a reusable orbiter. We need to show more ambition.
