Still the same idea--rockets are rockets--but technology had moved forward in a million tiny ways. New metal alloys, new welding techniques, new injector designs, new fuel blends, CAD design. The new rocket will be stronger, faster, better. We can do it again and do it even better. With or without the old bluelines.

AGREE!!

& we Just Need a "Little Political Push" to make It Happen.

"From Your Mouth to "God's Ear!!"

We will Gradually Lose the "Will & Capability" to "Go Back,--" as our resources get-More & More-Drained by "Social Priorities.

Our Culture has a RAPIDLY NARROWING "Window" to "Make the Leap" to a "Spacefaring Culture!"

We are at a VERY Important "Cusp" in Human History.

We "Go Out,"--or we "Involute."

The Human Species has NO FUTURE confined to Earth; we are Designed to "Move Out!"

If we "Involute,"--we "Fester, self-Destruct, & Die."

If we embrace the "Great Adventure" of exploring our Environment--as we are "Programmed to Do"--we MAY Survive.
