Going to the moon is very much vaporware. Maybe the penultimate example of it.

Going to the moon was, at the very least, demonstrated as technologically possible in the 1960s, and you can literally go watch a Starship launch if you want. I have a very hard time putting it in the same "entirely prospective" category as androids, self-driving taxis, and Mars bases.

The moon is orders of magnitude more difficult to land on than launching a LEO satellite.

And that'd be a great point if we didn't already do it six times with slide rules in the 1960s.

I'm sure Musk will have another scam soon enough!
