    Happy Anniversary! 50th Anniversary of...

    Today marks the 50th Anniversary of the first human space flight!

    Question for discussion: Are you happy with the progress humans have made in space flight and exploration over the past 50 years? Do you expect the rate at which we develop advancements in technology for space exploration to remain the same, increase, or decrease over the next 50 years? Where would you like to see us (major feat(s) accomplished) with regards to space exploration 50 years from now?

    I remembered. Who says I didn't?

    50 years of manned spaceflight! Why is there not more fuss about this?

    I suspect that part of the reason is the 150th anniversary of the US Civil war. With that story, the media can dig up (or invent) whatever controversies and parallel controversies they can.
