''There is actually a real-world example of such reversion occurring: America's NASA program sent manned missions to the Moon in the 1960s and 70s yet by the 2000s had reverted to again sending unmanned probes to the moon.'' | * It is left unexplained why Britain's space program has apparently reverted to celebrating unmanned probes arriving at Mars when ''[[The Ambassadors of Death]]'' established that by this time Britain had already sent manned missions to Mars.
