Reality and a few spectacular Starship explosions have squashed talk of imminent Mars colonies' is the funniest way to describe everyone realizing Mars colonization was always Silicon Valley fanfic. But I'm still watching those launches because explosions are cool and I'm 12 years old inside.

It's true.

All the best for 2026, Andrew.

All good here. Still hanging on in services. 30yrs as of sept. Everyone left is young and most are lazy. Definitely different. Hoping we can evolve out, but not sure I can last another 3 years to the next wave.
