Yeah, five years from now.

I am betting my life savings that Mars One will actually land on Mars before NASA establishes a moon base in 2024. That's how certain I am.

Waste of time and money. Let the billionaires do it. They will get there faster and cheaper than NASA ever could.

Does it merely make you just mildly happy, or are you over the moon?

Turns out space flight is expensive, even after they cut down on cost by outsourcing the rocket manufacturing to a firm in Bangladesh.
