  1. One of the things that constantly pisses me off whenever I hear people talk about real world space travel, from the Apollo missions, landing on the moon, to the space shuttle era, all the way to today's ISS missions, and ask me, "what did we really accomplish?" They ask that like there is no tangible results, which there are a ton of ancillary technologies that we enjoy today that began life in the space missions, but also there are a TON of intangible results. It inspired a generation of people to enter the sciences, many wanting to become astronauts or work on space missions but were unable to and went on to build SO many other things. In short, never underestimate the power of imagination or inspiration.
