Dogechode, no worries for getting there in a timely manner. As someone else mentioned before, Mars One is already well into the selection process. Nasa is moving more and more toward SpaceShipOne while shutting down (at least for now) their shuttle launches. Virgin Galactic is teasing us with space ports and commercial space flight. Things are a lot more interesting now then they were 10 years ago. Another 10 years into the future we might even see perhaps commercial space flight as a booming industry. Great time to be alive to be honest. Star Trek, Star Wars and other movies portrayed the human race as a star faring species and this has captured our imagination. I've always wandered though what the middle step would be like, that moment when humans start to slowly raise our eyes to the sky and venture more and more into outer space. It looks like 2015-2025 might be a very interesting period. A great time to sit back, get some popcorn and enjoy the view
