So I made a bet with my friend that we'll have a human step foot on Mars in our lifetime or 30 years. And he's acting like that's impossible.

A handful of ppl alive today, back in 1939: So I made a bet with my friend that we'll have a human step foot on the Moon in our lifetime or 30 years. And he's acting like that's impossible, said I'm reading too many Jules Verne space fantasies...
