I was born in the current millenia so I wasn’t around during the aerospace boom but it makes me kinda sad that looking back, there was so much innovation and hope for a future. I remember talking with some older people in how they thought we’d be living on the moon or Mars by now after seeing the Apollo missions and seeing commercial supersonic flight. I still remember going to the library and checking out books about how technology was developed and reading in awe about the insane engineering behind each thing.

It’s just sad that all of the potential and movement was just shutdown by politicians and the rich just so they could get that extra little bit more wealth and power year after year.
