It's amazing that, with all of the world's technology, simply landing on the moon is still such a difficult task.

And people expect us to colonize other worlds? When is that going to even begin? I have absolutely no faith in a manned Moon mission at this point, let alone a manned Mars mission.

@FlyingSquid @throws_lemy Most technology, especially computer and software technology, needs constant maintenance, repair, and bug fixing by skilled experts. It's hard to do that when the hardware cannot be accessed directly.

The state of software reliability should tell you everything you need to know about the difficulties of building and deploying complex/complicated systems.
