Talking of which I am more than curious to see how these guys get on, if they make it off the ground at all, and if so when, if they make it there, and actually manage to make a go of it, if they win the race, and what will follow.

I am not sure about these guys at all, if they know what they are up to.

Time will tell.

It has been suggested by some that it will take another 100 years before we reach Mars... but then people said the same thing about sequencing the human genome halfway through the project when it was only 1% complete.

It could well be that Orion reaches Mars first... or another project we do not even know the name of yet.

Or not at all.

Going to be interesting finding out though.



I heard they were taking people to Mars in 2024. Apparently, there was also a contest from whcih 100 people have already been selected, and 2 will be shortlisted finally.

Same company. (I thought?)
