    Less mind blowing but still shocking to me - it’s been 53 years since we last set foot on the moon, much less gone beyond that. Humanity has lost our ambition.

      We didnt lose our ambitions. The geopolitics have changed. The space race was ultimately was a big dick measuring contest between two super powers. When the soviets couldnt make it to the moon, there was no reason to push further.
