If 2023 ends up giving us AGI, room-temperature superconductors, Starships and a cure for cancer, I think we will able to call it a good year...

To paraphrase Brett Goldstein, Elon Musk couldn't fucking build Jefferson Starship.

He may get us back into space, but SpaceX won't get us into the solar system. That will come when SpaceX is fat and happy and complacent, and some new company comes in and does to them what they've done to others.

And none of us will be alive when a human orbits another star. We might see someone launch, but we won't live to see if they survived the journey.
