Despairing of humans in space.
With 1600% over runs, that puts on Mars at a quick $300BillionUS.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with the desire so many of us here have?
Is there a technical limitation or a sociological limitaion that simply makes the serious space flight we have dramed of simply beyond our reach?
