In an era when space ambitions often outpace fiscal clarity, the Planetary Society has stepped forward to examine what the PROMISE initiative will genuinely cost — not to diminish the dream, but to ground it in honest accounting. The organization, long a trusted voice in space policy, released its analysis this week as a service to policymakers and the public alike, insisting that informed choice, not enthusiasm alone, must guide humanity's next steps beyond Earth. The deeper question PROMISE raises is not whether we can reach for the stars, but whether we are prepared to sustain the reach.
