Still, he excitedly tweeted, \u201cMars, here we come!!\u201d He wouldn\u2019t be the first mega-popular billionaire who tweets too much to claim victory after an ostensible disaster this fall. But at least Musk explained the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1336808486022258688\">method behind his madness<\/a>\u2014the rocket apparently did all they wanted it to do. (\u201cSuccessful ascent, switchover to header tanks &amp; precise flap control to landing point,\u201d he tweeted, adding: \u201cWe got all the data we needed!\u201d) If anyone shares his optimism, it may be in the spirit that we can one day leave this ruined world\u2014a planet marred in just one year by 1.5 million COVID deaths, economic recessions, record-breaking wildfires, race riots and authoritarians who\u2019ve become worryingly trendy. It\u2019s enough to make a human race say, \u201cYou know what? Just forget Earth altogether.\u201d Earlier this week, a former Israeli space security chief <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/weird-news\/former-israeli-space-security-chief-says-extraterrestrials-exist-trump-knows-n1250333\">blew the whistle<\/a> on the so-called \u201cGalactic Federation,\u201d an extraterrestrial entity of intelligent beings whom he alleges are studying the universe but requested to be kept a secret because \u201chumanity is not ready yet.\u201d You know what?
