Foolish Earthling
Today marks 50 years of human spaceflight with Yuri Gagarins flight!
50 Years!
What happened to the moon bases???
What about those big rotating wheel-shaped space stations?
Why aren't we on Mars yet? Much less the moons of Jupiter or Saturn?
Where's my jet-pack? And my personal robot??
The science fiction vision was so much cooler than the reality of it.
Shrinking budgets.
Disinterested citizens.
Retirement of the shuttles that never reached even a small percentage of the dreams that spawned their creation.
Space just never seemed so far away as it does now.
*sigh*....I still have my telescopes.
