we should have gotten Altair, it was so cool, but now with Starship HLS, it just feels like too little for such a long awaited return

I know what you mean, past decade should have been oldspace aesthetic missions like pic rel before transfer to newspace & Starship etc..

So sad we never got that

We were on the fast track but that fucker Obama cancelled the Constellation program, and redirected NASA's goal to an asteroid redirect mission that went fucking nowhere and a vague promise of Mars by 2030, now the asteroid redirect is cancelled and the focus is on the Lunar Gateway and a possible return to the Moon sometime after all using SLS, and Mars 2030's of course.

If Obama hadn't redirected the entire course of the agency we would have had Orion and Altair by now and a rocket more powerful than the SLS the Ares V and have landed on the moon surely by now and probably been halfway through preparations for the manned Mars landing
