Not even a thought in my parents head. They hadn't met yet.



And happy b-day to Mr. Santana.

You don't believe that I hope?

 

[Wagerallsports]

You don't believe that I hope?

No I don't lol

It's unbelievable to me that we haven't accomplished much of anything since that time exploring space. I know we had Skylab and space shuttles but I thought after that day so much more would be done.

I think money started to restrict the dreams of going further.

I do think we've accomplished a lot with NASA since then. The technologies that were developed by Nasa and the space industry have made huge impact in society. There are hundreds of items but one that has had a huge impact in my industry is carbon-carbon fibers. The stuff they used on the heat tiles on space shuttle. We use that in high temp applications all over the chemical industry and its stronger than titanium.

Unfortunately, similar material was used inappropriately in the submersible going to the Titanic that imploded recently.

[BMR Genie]

Wasn't alive until 86

Is this the age when his Alzheimer's disease started?

 

[BobbyFK]

I wasn't even thought of back then

 

[keithrichard]

You kids missed out on so much.

 

[Tanko]

You kids missed out on so much.

I've read, they didn't even have cell phones back then... Wow.




JK KR. I was born before cell phones.

 

[BMR Genie]

You kids missed out on so much.

Pre-internet years are the best time for me.

 

[keithrichard]

Pre-internet years are the best time for me.

There are lots of things I don't like about the current world but I do love the internet. Having all that info at your fingertips and communication with just about anybody on this planet is awesome. So glad I'm still alive to see it.
