    Probably how we went to the moon and then later successfully sent a rover to Mars to study and take pictures. It’s something I can’t really explain on a technical level but it happened

      In the fifties they were aspiring to that already, engineering seemed unstoppable. May not understand how we could pull it off and then our own kids don’t believe us, though.

        Frankly, the hard part would be explaining why got there and then just sort of stopped. They’d be disappointed we don’t have a permanent lunar colony and manned missions to Mars yet!
