Something major is on the horizon. I dunno if it's a tech breakthrough or a meteor or an ET announcement, I dunno. My guess is the mars plan will change drastically in the next 18 mos.

There is no major breakthrough coming. We are 20 years min from even thinking about landing a person on it.

You have the wealthiest moguls on earth losing money at an alarming rate. Why would people like Besos and Elon throw away billions? People like Greenpeace saying recycling has never worked. Throwing up of hands across the world when it comes to having zero options to deal with climate change. My guess would be meteor strike. NASA and everyone else in that space says that ten years warning isn't enough. Taurid showers scheduled for June 2023 are supposed to be the most extreme they've been in the last 20k years. They wouldn't tell us if that was coming.

If all the super wealthy billionaires interested in space gave up all their money for a Mars landing, it wouldn't even be near enough. Landing on Mars with people will be ungodly expensive. It will take a major country or several to pull it off. Which is why it is likely to never happen with people. We can send robots pretty easily but sending people is entirely different and way more challenging.
