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.
