Although before my time Sputnik fired off the space race of the 60’s which cumulated for me and many my age, half a day off school to go home and watch man walk on the moon in July of 1969. At the time it seemed humanity could do big things, science and technology brought overall good things and the future was rosy. Futurologists at the time predicted flying cars, atomic aircraft and food making machines. Well, with hindsight they got that all wrong and missed one of the biggest things, the advent of the computer age but that’s not my point.
