Nope. What I'm saying is that very little of what was possible in the 50'es has
come to pass & even those things that have have got consistently worse in the
last couple of decades.

We used to have supersonic airliners. Today we don't. We used to have airliners
which were just subsonic. Today we don't.

The last time man walked on the moon was.....

The only thing which has really improved has been computers & thus the
"virtual" which as a result we have to make do with.

Yup. But...in the decades since Von Braun, where is the "conquest of space"?

We're more or less back where we were with sputnik, having reached out to the
moon etc.
