Well, that’s out, but it should be interesting to take a look once a month for, say, fifty years.

Of course, by then we may have something new to travel in...

1/8 light speed seems like a reasonable 100 year goal. In fact I think speed should be as big or even bigger of a priority than landing a man on Mars. After all, many of the problems with space travel are closely tied to transit time.
