50 years of space exploration

It's been 50 years since the first human journey to outer space.

I can't say that I'm completely happy with the pace of the space exploration.
There is no doubt that a lot was done there, but it feels like there is more that could have been accomplished during these years.

It's amazing to remember how much enthusiasm towards the space we had when we were young. I pictured future to be a bit different back then after all the sci-fi books I've read after all the sci-fi movies I watched.

It's amazing that after 1972 we never visited the moon anymore or any other planet.

Nowadays it looks like the next generation of young people is more interested in all kind of gadgets/gizmos (iPods/iPads). They either want to be some kind of celebrity and/or own bunch of "stuff" or/and be rich.

I hope that I'm all wrong about this, we will see.

One more day till vacation ...

... looking forward to enjoy this weekend and the next week in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Just went through all my scuba gear, packed it all up and ready to go.
...one more day, yeah! :)
