I’m divided on Gateway, because I know it’s unnecessary, but space stations are cool. I lean toward cancelling it.

I’m totally on board with distributed lift for the landers. That architecture lets them land more mass, like bigger pressurized landers for longer stays and bigger crews, the surface habitat, and the pressurized rover.

Whether to explore space or not is a different question. I’m a hopeless sci-fi nerd, so I’m already inspired and working in the industry. I think that’s a much better way to spend money than the Pentagon. I would much rather have space exploration and planetary science instead of more ICBMs.
