I would bet money on being underwhelmed.
And maybe by 2023 the US will be able to lift a man to earth orbit.
Heh, I was looking at it and I thought, gee, isn't it going too fast? So I estimated that the station was 700 feet in diameter and turning about once per 30 seconds. This came out as an "artificial gravity" ... v^2/r ... of just about 15 ft/sec2 ... 1/2 g
Well, the question is moot.
Where, exactly, are we going to go? The moon, Mars, a couple asteroids, that's it.
Venus? Lethal heat, lethal atmosphere, and lethal atmospheric pressure.
Jupiter's moons? Intense gravitational tidal forces will quickly collapse any near surface underground living quarters. Above ground? Intensely focused solar radiation on the back side of Jupiter and at least one deadly radiation belt will make that all but impossible.
I completely support basic scientific space research. And I believe that Star Wars-style space travel will be a reality one day.
But we are talking millennia - not decades.
Maybe hussein’s mohammaden outreach will send them into space, all of them.
“...thanks to the recent feet by SpaceX in landing a rocket, will be a lot cheaper to operate”
My feet are getting pretty old, and I feel it.
Russia’s medium lift Angara engines will be on line in a few years - lifting about 37 tons to orbit, and later the super heavy lift Fenix new technology first stage engines will appear around 2020 - lifting up to 150 tons.
