Back in the 1970's people marvelled at the stoic figure who was Neil Armstrong, the first person whose feet touched the surface of our planets moon. Back when this happened in 1969, it was revolutionary. It made America's space race with Russia obsolete and it opened the floodgates to what our solar system is now; a lab.

NASA's greatest accomplishments were cherished in modern history and will be for decades to come. On the contrary, space pioneers of today will have less special treatment. Why? Well, they each have their own chequered pasts. Elon Musk recently brewed a debate when he smoked weed live, the same individual who sent one of his own Tesla vehicles into space and currently orbiting our Earth. Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon and Blue Origin, is hated for the sole purpose of him owning over a trillion dollars and he wishes for humanity to leave Earth indefinitely.

Billions of dollars which aren't courtesy of Jeff are being poured into things like SpaceX and the Virgin Galactica which has been a legend for over a decade and is starting to emerge.

Meanwhile on Earth, the supposed bore fest, has a potential ecological crisis heading its way in an estimated 12 years. What would be the source of this epidemic? Climate change.
