Check out the “tyranny of the rocket equation”.

Or ask Randall Munroe How many model rocket engines would it take to launch a real rocket into space?

Reminds me of this Calvin and Hobbes comic about ethics :)

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Interstellar (2014) - Scene that quotes the poem. Now this is where you go for proper theatrical drama.
