44years ago today

The landing of the moon occurred 44 years ago. What happens in 44 years?

Well in 1969, when we landed on the moon, 44 years ago, then, was 1925.

Think of all the accomplishments that happened between 1925 and 1969. Even limited to aerospace, a lot happened in those 44 years.

We went from wood and cloth airplanes to metal jets and rockets.

Now look at the technological advances that came in the 44 years since 1969. Have we experienced the same changes in technology in the 44 years since 1969 as we did in the 44 years prior to 1969?

I can play old Nintendo games on my cell phone, and make a call at the same time on it.

I can google up directions to a restaurant, then have directions show up on my talking gps.

But we still never been further than the moon, we (mankind in itself) is greater than this.

Mars.

I'd say yes if not more of them.
