I'm bummed out that we haven't seen more about what Curiosity's been up to on the news. How much more interesting is this than anything Rmoney could do or say?

12. Oh hell, when I was growing up I thought we would all be in space by now.

Think of the name of the agency. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration sounds like it's goal is to combine air travel with space travel so we would have planes that go into space,...for everybody.
Then "2001 - A Space Odyssey" came out and there it was, the future within my lifetime:
