What will happen first and why

[Groz73Cane]

Yes, claims. Kennedy claimed we could put a man on the moon before the decade was out and made it happen.

I was alive when JFK made that promise, I sat in my parents kitchen and watched us take a giant leap for mankind. I heard JFK make and keep a lot of promises, he was a Man of his word. Elon musk is no JFK

I remember thinking we'd be a lot further along than we are. The promise as a kid in the 70's was awesome.

For All Mankind does a pretty interesting job of showing what it would have been like technologically if the space race had not ended and funding curtailed.

In the 1970s the plans were for multiple space stations, space shuttle, and a lunar base. That got curtailed to just Skylab and the space shuttle.

He's got a pretty good track record so far. Aiming for 97% reusability.

I remember we'd have space stations at Lagrange points between here and the moon. I remember in the late 80's the goal was to develop a single stage to orbit.

Does Elon Musk have the VP, the CIA, and the Mafia conspiring to assassinate him?
