Present trends continuing, we will someday read that the last of the men who walked on the moon has died of old age, and that the latest electric cart has sent back another picture of a rock, just like the last million pictures of rocks.

When I was a boy in the early 1970s, I used to watch the moon shots, thinking for sure that in my lifetime, we will have walked on Mars and other planets.

Over 40 years later, we have gotten no further in terms of human exploration of the solar system. In fact, we might be hard pressed to even re-create the moon missions of nearly half a century ago.

What does that mean?

I think I get it. You want more manned missions. That’s commendable.

However, those, “electric carts” as you referred to them are paving the way for man to eventually leave this world. Unmanned spacecraft today go where no man can go and stay alive. These space craft are bringing in valuable data/discoveries that manned craft never could, and that data/discoveries from those unmanned spacecraft will be what keeps man alive in future extended manned missions.
