I would have thought the world would be much more futuristic than this: letting stuff in space fly to earth as space trash as opposed to establishing broad horizons and frontiers.

Those of us old enough all did. The movie 2001 A Space Odyessy, shot in 1968, had an orbiting space station, several moon bases and the capability to fly astronauts to Jupiter by the turn of the 21st century. It’s been nearly a half century since a man has walked on the moon.

And don’t get me started about flying cars!
