I'm very disappointed with the lack of progress made within the last 40 years since that Moon landing.

as someone who was born in that decade who looked forward to the day when we all could make trips into the galaxy it has yet to happen.

if you compare the progress made from around the time of Charles Lindberg's famous 1927 nonstop cross atlantic flight and the apollo 11 landing it add's up to 42 years.

very little if any progress has been made in space navigation since 1969. we are still WAY behind.

does anyone recall the show "Space 1999" and how they thought as a kid that this was the way it was 'gonna be in the year 1999'

well it's a decade later and we're still far from it!
