I saw a video (I think Robert Zubrin was in it) where the narrator compared the first humans going to Mars as being similar to the first humans to take the trek out of Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago. I don’t know why but the idea of people who’ve been dead for millennia and having been los to time making their voyage really moved me. Humans never really changed, have they?

Not to get all Isaac Awfuh on everyone but imagine humanity 200,000 years from now. Will they remember the first people to go to Mars?

I have, like, capitulated. And I have spent my whole life avoiding that situation. I have never capitulated to anything, so it was just a profound commitment.”
She’s weird like him
