I remember as a kid in the 80s seeing a ad in the paper saying "Win a trip to the moon or $50000 if the technology isn't available in 20 years". Well over 30+ years have past and we are just getting started.

“Anyone can go explore among the stars”

-some clueless billionaire

A billionaire today, in ten years a millionaire, in twenty years someone who is upper middle class, in forty years, perhaps it can reasonably be on your average person's bucket list to save up for. It's a good start, because it's the only start we have and they are the only ones making it happen.
