    Idk man, I can plan this shit too, but I doubt how achievable it’ll be by 2100.

      In fairness to China, they have a pretty good record of setting out space plans and sticking to them. Assuming re-useable rockets become widespread, getting to space should be much cheaper. Using the solar system’s legrange points (as they propose here) has long been recognized as key to being able to regularly travel around the solar system.

    Something we all should have been working on since the 60’s but got sidetracked by cocaine and dumb ass bullshit.

    Press X to doubt.
