Whilst if we set our sights farther afield for a manned mission, technology becomes limited by the primitive state of our bodies. Love how considering space has a way of flipping things on their head as you zoom in or out.
There we have it. So it's fair to say, by that reasoning...that even when we don't currently possess a machine or the designs for a machine, we can still claim to be capable?
The urey miller gambit of spacecraft development....
(Some people thought gemeni and apollo would be easy too..that we were "capable")
I'm not trying to give you guys any gruff, I just want to stress that trivializing a hard technical limitation and then wishfully claiming that throwing money at it will fix it does nothing to bring light to, or alleviate the technical limitation and state of disarray and neglect that was it's cause.
