Just wait until you hear about Wernher von Braun.

And how is that a refutation, logically?

My “cool things to do once in a lifetime” list just got a new item - Watch SpaceX send humans to ISS. There is this strange urge to actually witness my species achieving great things.

But your species sends humans to ISS all the time. Or do you think Russians are cats? :)

Far from it. However it seems seeing Soyuz is somewhat [1] complicated. One needs to travel to Kazachstan’s remote Baikonur, get a special tour and chances are you will be rejected for no little reason. Apparently there’s not much to do there if that happens. Now going to Florida from Europe is quite a trip as well. But at least you can go snorkeling in Key West after the launch.
