“We stopped dreaming.”

Forty-five years ago today, we accomplished something astonishing.

Then we stopped dreaming.

You remember the 60s and 70s. You didn't have to go more than a week before there's an article in Life magazine, "The Home of Tomorrow," "The City of Tomorrow," "Transportation of Tomorrow". All of that ended in the 1970s. After we stopped going to the Moon, it all ended. We stopped dreaming.

Then the Moon got lonely.
