Maybe they should go back to smoking cigars after a successful landing.

We can barely come up with something cool enough to manage a landing, move more than ten feet per week, and last for longer than a month. Are we ever going to get off this damn rock? Uh, Noooo....

With our horrendously stagnant technology these days, we are not going anywhere for hundreds of years. It'll take the assistance of a space traveling alien race to offer a hand to us morons if we ever want to accomplish some fantastic feat anytime soon.
