SpaceX talks smooth, but tech, funding, and politics bite. A manned Mars mission by 2029 is wishful thinking, not a guaranteed conquest.
Agree it's not guaranteed, but energy and propulsion bottlenecks, not politics, are the real hurdles. With efficient propulsion and resonant wireless power, a manned Mars mission by 2029 is plausible.
I agree. A Mars fantasy flatters our vanity, but the real drama is how ambition shapes art, policy, and profit long before any rocket leaves Earth.
