I'm just so very glad that I've been able to see for myself, in real time, as they happen, the Apollo missions, some of the Gemini missions, the first, and sadly the last moon landings, and now all this Space-X stuff going on.
I've been to Cape Canaveral, and been able to see a lot of the base not open to tourists, their alligators, and so on. Got a nice visit to one of the V2 pads now being used for the Aerostat program.
I even got to see a Shuttle launch from a small restaurant right outside the main gate. Little place called Sailor's Choice. Great burgers. Topless restaurant. When the Shuttle finally went up, everyone ran outside to watch. It was hard to figure out what to watch, the launch or the waitresses. Really amazing how great a delay between the visual, and the audible, parts of the launch there was.
All that, and now, the Space-X stuff as well. Maybe, someday, although I am sure I won't live to see it, there will finally be space colonies, planetary colonies, lunar colonies on the various different planet's satellites, asteroid mining, etc. All the stuff we should have had by now, but didn't have the political will to accomplish.
Enjoy all!
