Well, one thing the 20th Century is superior to this one is in that century, we put a man on the Moon. If we had yo get to the Moon right away, we don't have that ability anymore, in some ways, what we had in 1970 is ahead of us today.

Forget putting a man on the moon! We can't even put a man in orbit or fetch him back from there. We have to rely on the Russians to ferry our astronauts back and forth from the ISS.

But who cares anything about that as ;long as we have out EBT cards and Obamaphones.

Sheesh. What a miserable excuse for a country we have become.

You’re right. If we brought a person up from 1970, he or she woulds be appalled. We give out free Obamaphones and can surf for porn online yet we can’t send a man to the Moon or even to orbit. Relying on the Soviets/Russians, I think we’d give our poor time traveller form 1970 a stroke. B-P
