You missed several firsts:
She was the first woman to ever assault a sitting President.
She was the first woman to ever violate the law and take out a sitting dictator.
She was the first woman Co-President.
She was the first woman to ever leave troops on roof tops to die.
She was the first woman to ever have a super secret server with top secrets on it.
She was the first woman to be denied the Vice Presidential slot because the Presidential candidate was afraid of her.

Sure is a lot of hate for the N.A.S.A. here.

Are y'all forgetting that the technology for all of Musks achievements were proven in the N.A.S.A, labs and shops?

The N.A.S.A., Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and the rest have been doing what Musk is doing for decades.

He is a flea on a dog bragging about all the fights he's won.

I will take that bet. The NASA Moon Mission is 100% happening. I will not be surprised if it is not further delayed, but it is absolutely happening. They had Japan just join on to it a few days ago, and the EU unfortunately are going to announce joining Artemis around the end of the year. It is gonna be yuge and bigly and is going to happen. It is seen as something that "has" to get done for pretty much the same reasons we went originally. The Chinese are on the other side this time, instead of the Russians and this time will be to establish at least a limited permanent presence.

Von Braun said 40 years ago it ain't happening with liquid fuel technology. You have to create caches of fuel and supplies along the route to get people there and back. Now maybe if it's a one way deal? And then there's not enough money in any economy to fund it.
Look at our current infrastructure there's no way their cutting out FSA.

Orbital refueling is already a thing they are getting ready. For SpaceX as an example just for a moon shot that is all they need to go there, land and return. A single refueling once they reach Earth Orbit. Also NASA is going to do it using the Lunar Gateway, which the module docks with. The station itself moves to where you want to land, and you simply drop down in the docked lander.

There's literally zero hardware in development by NASA right now that could ever be purposed towards a Mars exploration trip. There isn't even the beginnings of a legit plan.

SLS is a fucking joke that won't get us to the Moon without a ridiculous number of contortions, all of which are entirely political in nature to feed Boeing and their subcontractors. SLS, even if they were fucking free to build and launching tomorrow, still wouldn't be a viable means of getting enough mass to orbit to set up a realistic Mars program. If we're really lucky it might place one or two temporary missions to the Moon by the end of the next decade. If we're incredibly lucky, Congress will pull the plug and just start paying SpaceX to ferry assloads of hardware up with FH or SS.

Either SpaceX succeeds in the next decade or so, or Mars will be visited by the next hyperpower - India, China, who whoemever - in the 2050s.

NASA is great at certain things, but working on lunar habitat designs when there is no launch system capable of making it happen, means you're just stuck endlessly jacking off in a lab.

Building a habitat and associated tech is the easy part. Have enough delta-v to put it there is what matters. 50t to TLI isn't enough for even a tiny habitat engineered to the Nth degree. Start talking mass budgets in the hundreds or thousands of tons, and you can damn near just hire a shipbuilder to construct your hab. Lots of things become possible if you're not pennypinching every pound of savings into your decisions and designs.

Look at the cost of SLS. Look at what it can theoretically sling, if it ever flies. Even if we had a base, built, and sitting there ready to be visited with periodic astronaut crews and top-offs, at the $1-2b/per pricing of SLS, and the abysmally slow build rate, do you think we could actually keep a base staffed?

SLS is the greatest threat to American space exploration, and we can firmly thank Senator Shelby and his compatriots for doing their damndest to hand space to the Chinese via corruption in the form of squandering our lead instead on endless corporate pork.

SpaceX beats NASA by 30 million miles. While NASA is busy with committees trying to decide which order the different genders, races and sexual orientations exit the ship, a decade will have past as the special snowflakes infight about who is first. By then, they're all too old to send and a new batch of retards must then been selected. Several more years will be wasted in an attempt to name the ship something inclusive enough. Determinations will need to be made if any cultural appropriations have occurred and each song permitted on the flights playlist must then be vetted by committee. After a long debate, only African Dream Pop will be permitted aboard.

By this point, SpaceX has begun terraforming Mars.

...Because equality is measured by putting Importance on one gender/race to do something before someone else. Right...

Equality means NO ONE CARES who did it first because everyone is so equal it doesn’t matter who did it first! They just celebrate that it was done in the first place. It should be an equal chance of anyone doing it, based on merit, skill, expertise, and or randomness.
