By all rights, this should be something I am deeply passionate about. I’ve been in tech/engineering my entire adult life and was obsessed with NASA as a kid. I even live on the east coast of Florida and can sometimes see the launches/landings over the ocean. But I just… don’t care at all. I’m not suffering from depression or any other malaise, and generally things are fine. But I haven’t clicked on a single link or looked at a single image. I know this has not been the case for many, many people, so I’m wondering what might be different about this launch (or really the whole program in general), and curious if anyone else has found themselves feeling the same.

    Isn’t one of this missions main goals testing new tech and theories to move us towards exactly what you are asking for?

      They could have done this forty years ago. And a moonbase is a waste of money and time. And it’s all moot because Trump just nuked another $14B off NASA’s budget anyway.
