Fingers crossed, if we manage not to blow each other up until then, we have 126 years to go till we can try again.

Ideally cattle not pets. We are continually shooting stuff out and in 126 years it'll be as nerveracking and watching a train departure, but still exciting knowing the train is going further.
Good idea, but it's hard to get funding for cattle, people pay more for pets perks.
From another comment Jupiter and Saturn align every 20 years, so we have 5 rehearsal windows before the big one. What fancy projects can we do in them to get funding? Is it too late for the first one? Can we ask Elon to pay for the first two?
