I honestly believe this flight was second only to the moon landing.

I agree, this is an event that has changed the world, possibly in ways we can't really know yet. Tonight moon bases, Mars, the asteroid belt have become near term human destinations. Space mining in now possible. We can mine Helium-3 on the moon for powering fusion reactors on Earth. All kinds of things have become feasible tonight.

Always wondered why they didn’t build Moon Base and Setup a large Diameter Telescope.

Hubble can see things we never knew existed. Imagine a Telescope 10X as large with no Atmospheric distortion.

Maybe I saw the Movie “2001” way too many times. LOL
