    I look forward to space shuttle advancements and one day commercial travel to the moon!

      I grew up in the 60s & 70s and I was SO sure I'd be able to go into orbit for (say) my 40th birthday. Pan-Am space clippers and more.

      No such luck tho. The US had the tech - but not affordably.
