Most of those guys were children when Wyatt Earp was alive.
Here are the NOW feminist founders in 1966, they are similar in age to the astronauts, some older.

More of a mix of the Boomers and those of the WWII generation
I deliberately used the word “ascension” not “invention” here.
For starters, how many of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts were born after 1945? How many of the NASA flight directors, engineers and systems engineers? How many of the Big Three’s most prolific automotive stylists and designers? The Beatles weren’t Baby Boomers and neither was Elvis or Chuck Berry. To be fair, Baby Boomers are the world’s greatest consumers. They even pay their grandkids’ bills!
I was born in 1955. Technically, a “boomer” but they call those of us born 1954 and after “Jonesers”. (look it up). I don’t recall any of those older boomers doing any of that innovative stuff. I just remember seeing on tv the idiot hippies protesting, spitting on our soldiers (like my aunt’s brother) returning from Vietnam, and heard about the bra burning and “flowers in the hair” crap. Even at 12 or 13 years old I despised them. The useless weirdos we see protesting today remind me of those hippies. /spit!
Well, there was a difference. in 1969 if you had a peace sign on the rear window of your van or a Country Joe & the Fish T shirt you could get laid 3 times a day by the willing members of the hippie free love squad.
Today you get spit on or at least given the finger from both sides. I mourn for the young white males of today.
Yuppies and their cocaine in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Fledgling cartels loved them. Too much was never enough.
Very thoughtful vanity. Thanks for posting.
Very good observation. Thanks for posting. I was at a Charlie Kirk tribute last night in a small park behind the local police station. There were lots of young people. Encouraging.
But something broke.

God was kicked out of the equation, or so we thought. Now we are under His judgment.
Thanks for that. Interesting read, provokes some introspection. Think I will go say a prayer now.
I too was born in rural Iowa in the 50’s, it was like a Rockwell painting. I recall Catholic nuns teaching in public schools (and the Ten Commandments in every classroom) dressed exactly like in church - and the same nuns tutored you in Catechism if you fell behind in an area, it was never about religion. “Hooked on Phonics” by 2nd grade and proper American Government by 5th grade. Today the schools from kindergarten to colleges are run by largely by communists, those innocent times are over for good. My conservative roots came from that time like others across the country.
One other important giant piece of our degrading society is political in nature, the “uniparty” being a reflection of our society => corrupt, redistribution of wealth and citizens putting back in power the same politicians that gave us over a couple generations soon to be $40,000,000,000,000 in debt.

Rather than take a righteous stand against evil, America allowed it to gain a foothold through the decades. We are now seeing the poisonous fruits. Evil difficult to root out once it’s reached this level of establishment, but it can be done. It’s going to take humility, the will for revival and the merciful grace of God and His power to overcome and heal. I see the younger people rising up in His Name. Yes, we need to step aside and support them, joining them in petition to God to save us.
10 million of them served in the military, that is a lot of them, which helps explain how Nixon got 52% of their votes and why the highest support for the Vietnam war was from that age group.
The media distorts things and images, and even memories.
I’m beginning to think of all this focus on generation categories as nothing more than a modern age form of astrology. You were born between years X to Y, therefore you believe and do Z, no exceptions. Like astrology it can be a form of light-hearted fun, but some people, seem to take it too seriously. Because I’m also technically a Boomer (1960), people will ask me about Woodstock. I don’t know, I was only 8 years old.

Thanks for the insight... I *did* look it up. My older brother and I are Jonesers according to the Wiki. Our favorite song at around 11 and 13 was Barry Sadler’s “Green Beret”.
Thanks for taking the time to share this. I hope you feel better, physically and spiritually.
>> Generation Alpha, however, is awakening. In my travels, I’m meeting young men with an ardent and outward expression of faith in Jesus Christ. These are men born into the cultural nihilism of post-9/11 America wherein they were told that their maleness was toxic. They were whipped by social stigmas. They were cast down and made to feel guilty for behaviors they never exhibited. They watched as men they once lionized were torn down. Cultural statues ripped from their pedestals for simply being what was socio-culturally considered masculine. Being strong, outspoken, driven, and faithful was considered illiberal and disgusting. These young men were thrown into digital social cages where they were starved for soul nourishment and told to just go through the motions or even worse: drugged into stupors to become good little drones. When you cage a dog, prod it, starve it, make it afraid of the world outside of its cage, you make a fearful animal ready to lash out and bite any hand that tries to feed it. Is it any wonder now how we got to where we are?

I am looking forward to the biggest Christian revival America has ever seen. The harvest is ripening.
