I know - you would think that with sixty-five whole years since the first satellite launch we'd be able to meaningfully explore our solar system already. It only took a few thousand years to fully map and explore the Earth's surface and you'd think exploring multiple planets and billions of miles of space would be 100x faster than that.

That money could be much better spent, like on tanks we will never use.

We have explored our solar system, we’ve sent multiple probes to most planets, done a flyby of Pluto, landed on Mars, Venus and several asteroids, driven multiple rovers on Mars. Put rovers and boots on the ground on the Moon. We’ve extensively mapped almost all the solar system.
