Yeah, I know, I never claimed it would succeed. I am pointing out that it should be compared to Apollo 11. They had no idea whether they would come back in 1969. We are thousands of times more advanced, and moving forward is what we must do. I do agree that you make a valid point. I am just fed up that NASA is not trying to do anything like this, but is obsessively placing rovers and satellites everywhere and working with the useless ISS. And here, a PRIVATE organization is daring to do this. But whatever *Cue end of random rage.*
