Millenials are chomping at the bit to do something great for their generation.
The economy has been stagnant as far as they can remember. The US has ‘always’ been at war in their lifetimes. They were raised with the Internet, so its novelty is lost on them.
I think that once they shave their hipster beards and get serious about their careers and this country, they could do great things.
“Millenials are chomping at the bit to do something great for their generation.”
Perhaps. But US Millennials have one overriding concern: safety, and there is nothing safe about riding a rocket, let alone traveling through space in a tin can bound for Mars.
Going to Mars is not on their list, bucket or otherwise. Maybe the Chinese or Russian Millennials will look at things differently.
There are all kinds of Millennials—some are even Orthodox Christians!!!!
But many are self-absorbed Nones:

And many are participants in the Great Unlearning, even believing that humans never went to the Moon!

If they don’t believe we went to the Moon, they certainly won’t help us go to Mars!!!!
The sorry state of Millennials is the fault of the generations who went before—our generations—who failed to teach their children what is important!!!!
Lord have mercy!!!!
