'murica

In 1962, 'murica was able to get two men onto the moon and safely back in less than seven years after the decision.

Today it would take how long after a similar decision?

I doubt it would be less than twenty years, at least if we're talking about the US government and NASA.

If we're talking about an engineer from South Africa, well -- he could probably do it in two years starting from now, and take a Tesla car along too.
