You have the wealthiest moguls on earth losing money at an alarming rate. Why would people like Besos and Elon throw away billions? People like Greenpeace saying recycling has never worked. Throwing up of hands across the world when it comes to having zero options to deal with climate change. My guess would be meteor strike. NASA and everyone else in that space says that ten years warning isn't enough. Taurid showers scheduled for June 2023 are supposed to be the most extreme they've been in the last 20k years. They wouldn't tell us if that was coming.

Gotta get to the moon to crack the quantum. Can't do it on earth.

Something major is on the horizon. I dunno if it's a tech breakthrough or a meteor or an ET announcement, I dunno. My guess is the mars plan will change drastically in the next 18 mos.
