2033 is the earlier any country will send men to Mars.

And so far the US is the only one actively building the rocket and technology to get there.

Because the wealth moved to developing countries.
We have no money to explore in space.
That is tragedy of human being.

Don't worry, private companies will get us there

>>66786701
where is polish flag

>>66786701
I'm more concerned about asteroid mining industry. It's more important for space exploration than manned mission to Mars.

Wouldn't it be smarter to use that money to make earth better?
The only argument they have is "uhhh, the earth wont last forever, it will be fucked by our dying sun in a thousand years so we better do this now" or "muh space travel and new horizons" like they want their sci fy movies to be real.

I get that space travel is cool but is not a nesesity right now. The space race was all about propaganda and sying, get over it.

Don't you know how much of the technology we use every day came out of the space race?

>>66795233
Yeah, I know. But that tech didnt had that purpose when it was made. Maybe if they had the objective to use that tech the way we use it now, it would be better. Most of that development is used for military purposes anyways.

...which filters down to the consumer sector.

Among other things, the personal computer revolution of the 70s-80s was made possible by the tech advances of the Apollo program.
