No human has set foot on the Moon (385,000 Km) for 53 years – or even left low Earth orbit (2,000 Km) for that matter – and it has been 16 years since anyone went any higher than the International Space Station (400 Km)
And now, Musk even wants to stop that early.
Mars is a carrot to allow commercial space companies to continue investing in what will make them money, while ultimately furthering nothing.
Regress under the guise of progress.
