I have been watching all of the press coverage of the Artemis ll moon mission. I have to say I haven't been all that excited. I was the for the moon landing stuff in 1969. I mean I wasn't actually there but I watched it all. Looking back though It occurs to me that, to use an analogy, it was like going to space in a Model T ford. And now 57 years later It was like going to space in a Model A ford. Very little difference in the mode of travel. Fancier computers. So my thought is if we expect to, forget about the moon, colonize Mars. We are definitely going to change the mode of transportation Dramatically. Question is, Is there any technology on the horizon that has the potential to make that happen in the next 57 years?
My analogy was that we strap the astronauts to a giant rocket that could turn into a bomb at any second. And when they come back they have to fall from the sky at thousands of miles per hour and hope their parachutes will deploy and and allow the to splash down in the ocean somewhere, and hope someone will be there to pluck out the water. Seems like a very crude and ancient system.
