Something that we SHOULD be excited about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qo78R_yYFA

SpaceX's Interplanetary Transport System.

According to Wikipedia: "The Interplanetary Transport System (ITS), formerly known as the Mars Colonial Transporter (MCT), is SpaceX's privately funded development project to design and build a spaceflight system of reusable rocket engines, launch vehicles and space capsules to transport humans to Mars and return to Earth."

Here's the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Transport_System

And a Verge article, in case you're one of those people who thinks Wikipedia is written by the Illuminati Lizard Men: http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/27/13078230/spacex-mars-interplanetary-rocket-spaceship-video

If/when we humans become an interplanetary species, we need to have statues and stories of Elon Musk. What a legend.

I'm not gonna expect shit in terms of space colonization until it happens tbh.

Even then the people who go will probably die within a couple of years anyway.

A while ago but I just now started lurking

Oh, okay.

In response to your reply:

While I don't find it likely that we'll land humans on Mars any time soon, this is Elon Musk we're talking about here. Man's more dedicated than a fat man running to McDonald's before it closes. He founded Spacex in 2002 -- just 14 years ago -- and already he's preparing to send people to Mars. He's incredibly smart and has a very talented team working with him. Chances are we'll see "FIRST HUMAN LANDS ON MARS" by, say, 2025 or 2030. But still, we'll have to wait and see.

He doesn't need one yet, he is only establishing the Adeptus Mechanicus for now.
