This is an odd thing to bitch about but what gets me is that realistically I would of been dead 40-70 years roughly before the idea of personal spaces ship become a thing and individualist space expansionism takes place, unless bionics becomes really good at keeping old people going I'm never going to get to fly around in a crappy, low grade death trap and jokishly call myself Han Solo.


The current state of affairs doesn't lift my spirits for a new space race either, especially after that whole shirt fiasco for the comet landing. My only real hope that a modern space race culture will take place if  Mars one mission is successful but I'll be shifting past middle age before I know that or not.


God Speed you magnificent bastards none the less.
