An anonymous reader writes "SpaceX hopes to put an astronaut on Mars within 10 to 20 years. From the article: '"We'll probably put a first man in space in about three years," Elon Musk told the Wall Street Journal Saturday.

    Except that the closest star is something like 100 million times as far as the moon, and there's no guarantee the closest star is any good.

    To visit the stars, we first need anti-matter based rocket propulsion, which we won't find on the moon.
