Re: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

*Brought over from "80s music" thread:

Dicktice:  Cindy: "Giving away" one's age, in some societies is to command respect, but not me.

*That's okay [I was just teasing you]. 

On the other hand--having been exposed to and influenced by "Buck Rogers" in the Sunday funnies, back then--my sense of human progress in space is filled with awe, that anyone of you Mars Society types who take for granted the capabilities now available to us, make me weep.

*Hmmmm.  I don't know if you are referring to all of us...I honestly don't believe I take space-travel and related matters for granted, within the context of my own generation of course.  As a kid in the early and mid-70s I was waiting for plans to shape up and be actualized for a lunar colony before 1990...still waiting.    Of course, I'd rather we get to Mars before going back to the moon.

That's why I have no patience with ideas for private access to space travel which might eventually work, but can't happen in my lifetime. Ah, Cindy...the impatience of old age!

*I feel impatient about it too.  There is no guarantee that I'll see humans on Mars in my lifetime either; if anything, I'll probably be a senior citizen by the time that plan is actualized.  After all, Apollo is going on 30 years ago...

Cindy! As they say: being a senior is better at least, than the alternative! But, seriously...how did you reply, all blended together, that way?

*I copied the text you'd typed, pasted it in a new post field and typed my comments between paragraphs of your text.  It's quicker for me to handle multiple reply comments in that fashion.
