haha probably by accident. I like that. I'm all for space exploration and going back to the moon. But I don't think going to the moon is a prerequisite for going Mars. the two are just too different. we can do most of what training and testing needs to be done here on earth, or in low earth orbit. aside from assembling bases in low gravity. either way the next 5 or 10 years will be interesting. been watching the testing going on with the SpaceX Hopper in Boca Chica Texas. looking forward to the orbital version especially if I can see both the Texas and FL launches from west Florida. :)

Thanks, Sma! I like what you’re saying, but I tried to explain one of the main reasons we need a base on the moon in my dispatch, but Shawn didn’t play that part on the air.
