I’m going to try to keep the SpaceBaby’s name out of this, but I am genuinely excited for the step change the next generation of lift vehicles will bring to space exploration.

I’ve become thoroughly depressed with how we are mishandling our own planet, and I know there are huge risks in believing that finding new places to fuck up will solve anything (also, it’s a pipe dream - terraforming isn’t something we could really hope to achieve and anything outside our solar system is just too far away) … but, dammit, my 12-year old self dreamed of spaceships refuelling in orbit, resupplying permanent missions on other planets/moons, and now it might actually happen.
