Full confession: I used to believe in The Mission. :surprised-pika:
To be more specific, I didn't believe in :my-hero: 's The Mission in particular, but I sincerely believed that government gridlock (yep, like I said, liberal take) was making space exploration impossible and that if any meaningful progress was going to be made in my lifetime, it would be by private industry. I wasn't particularly enthralled by any specific billionaire, but I had the cynical/deluded belief that "humanity must become an interplanetary species" and that absolutely everything else came second to that.
