Astrophysicists do have quick save and load. They run a bajillion simulations, calculations, and scenarios before they ever touch a single bolt. You’re not doing that in your game, nor is it likely that you’re an astrophysicist. Some of the most highly competent people in the world work on these projects, and they plan for decades before they launch a mission. Yes, shit happens, but the chances are pretty high that they already accounted for any shit that could happen.
We successfully sent people to the moon and back when the most powerful computers in the world filled an entire room, and were literally millions of times less powerful than the phone I’m writing this on. Material science and manufacturing processes are also considerably more advanced now.
Putting a person on Mars will certainly be a daunting challenge, but I don’t think it’s one that is insurmountable. The biggest challenge is the fact that they operate on shoestring budgets compared to other major industries. Musk won’t have anything to do with the actual real planning of a Mars mission. As a matter of fact, Space X has an entire department that is dedicated to keeping him away from projects.
Didn’t they “lose” the documentation of the moon landing, and that’s why we can’t go back atm? Like 60 years later we still couldn’t retro engineer it?

PS: what’s that game called? I want to play it!

Haha! Thanks for the recommendations. I’m definitely going to check those out.
