Interesting. You know, not a lot of truly "cool" things have happened since man last stepped on the moon (imo—don't freak out ). Yeah, I know we've bounced a few pieces of metal off random orbiting things, but it feels very much like another human is not far off from setting foot on something other than Earth. And that is the true measure of man: To explore—in person!

I am also quite confident the next human being to put his/her dainty little pigs on a distant rock will not be from the United States. We seem to have the attitude of "been there, done that". It almost feels lackadaisical, like we're more interested in funding Gigantocorp than exploring. Other nations seem more interested in being the first non-U.S. entity to walk about somewhere else.

I hope this goes well for India.
