@futurebird@VulpineAmethyst@dalias I didn't word that well perhaps. Part of a kneejerk/irritation in general at the way everyone suddenly became basically interested only in Mars.
As they say, you should learn to walk before trying to run. But then a lot of famous people like Musk decided running was all that mattered and it feels like humanity just sort of went along.
I feel like a Moon base is the next step and would help any other steps along the way in addition, but no one is trying.
