So maybe around 2027 or 2028 or 2029 humans will walk on the moon again . . . for the first time in about 60 years.

Supposedly, then, to Mars.

Will that happen?

Some people think the collapse of hypermodern civilization that has begun will play out fairly quickly. In that case we’ll never get to Mars. I think it will play out slowly. In that case we might get to Mars.

I can envision a scenario … circa 2060 or 2080 … where a crew does fly to Mars. I think they’ll never get back. I think: the collapse will be becoming evident and when those astronauts die it will be felt to be a harbinger.
