Funny you mention “off world.”
As I was reading the article, I was thinking of the absolutely spectacular CGI night in the jungle scene from James Cameron’s movie “Pandora.” On the big screen is fine; not sure about having it ultimately show up in the local home & garden center.
For some reason, I have this funny feeling that the epitaph on Humanities tombstone will be:
“Better is the enemy of good enough, indeed.”
Told my boss at the time that I was rooting for the humans. She looked at me like I just bit the head off a kitten.
