I can’t decide which space company I like most
SpaceX is farthest along, but feels conventional except for One Weird Landing Trick
Blue Origin is what I’d ride if I had $. Most serious about reliability, plus huge windows/best view
Virgin feels like actual future preview 🤔

I think there is a meaningful future industry in suborbital flights (anywhere on earth under 2h)
LEO seems like stunt tourism. It’ll always remain temperamental bespoke engineering for human presence. Not commodity.
Mars seems out of reach with current terraforming tech

Can you elaborate on the tech being the limiting factor for terraforming?

Need a magnetosphere for serious terraforming. No way to do that now.
I wonder if the expanse series is right where terraforming mars is probably doomed in that it’ll be obsolete on arrival by developments in the century plus it takes to complete
Also this was an interesting idea for a magnetosphere at mars l1
