I'd squeal like a piggy if I could watch some astronauts putting boots on the ground on Mars someday. Or if I could see even a working model of an O'Neill cylinder in orbit as a proof of concept. Kalpana one, space tether, whatever!

It will bother me somewhat if it's some billionaire does any of those things like first like they portrayed in the third season of For All Mankind, but a W for the species is a W.
Fusion isn't real, it needs fission breeder reactors at scale to even try.
