Watching Elon Musk's Big Mars Talk, and it's absolutely thrilling. He's talking reusable/refueling boosters (used up to 1,000 times) and carbon fibre ships - - all, liEk, within ten years or so. With a capacity for a crew of 100 - how, 'Enterprise' - - and reducing costs to under $100,000 per person, with a travel time of 80 days and possibly less. I need to win the lottery :)

I teared up when he casually dropped the fact that he's leased Pad 39A from NASA for the Big Mars Launch - - http://www.jonbrack360.com/launchpad_39a/ - - it just seems so @#$%^ fitting. PAD 39A. That's the sacred ground that Apollo 11 (and many others) slipped the surly bonds from.

What a time to be alive. I hope I live to see it; so sad that Carl Sagan is not. Dang.

This takes my breath away, each time I see it:



Those tiny figures, walking across the ice (of Enceladus, maybe? I'm such an Enceladus fangrrl and gasped earlier in the film when they showed what could only be its' geisers) literally gave me a lump in my throat, LOL - That sky, filled with Jupiter's swirling storms, like a living painting...Floating..Through the myriad snowballs of Saturn's rings - and that slow, hypnotic leap from that cliff...down..down...And, of course, Carl.
