What 'we', maybe you did. Heck it was the 60's early 70's, EVERYBODY was going to the moon Alice!
The big problem is fuel, you have to bring with. I wonder how the little grey men do it?
Bob Lazar the Area 51 bean spiller claims the lgm's propulsion system is based on element 115. In pieces about the size of an old silver dollar. How they make it work, still don't quite know. (Or so it is claimed.) But then again I haven't paid attention to that sort of thing for years. An anti-grav drive could be used to bounce around on and between massive items, but would't work too well way out in the space boondocks.
Not laughing at the joke. I am laughing at the NYT. They act like Jetson Beaver. I'm relevant!
No. No you are not.
America has a problem with it's science culture. It's turned to sci-fi. Let me repeat myself again again when I say that anything at all costs is not the good idea. 100 years have overturned everything they thought they knew. It's been an amazing run. With the lower hanging fruit having been picked long ago the people that do the work are reaching too very far. No patience. Totally unlike the european and asian cultures of seeing time as a resource of ages.

So you build a multi-quadrillion $ spaceship that goes as fast as light. In 4 years you pull up to a red dwarf. In 150 years you get to see a star with 5 planets. meanwhile, back at the ranch, dood on a train in his mind thinks of something that changes everything.
