It really makes you think...what happened to space/the moon?
A few decades ago it was a race to Mars, now it seems to be a race to who can buy the most gadgets and get the most subscriptions to keep people planted on the couch.
More and more science and math fields are more focused on saying the right things and meeting quotas as opposed to actually pushing innovation forward.
Technology has been a big step forward, but to me we've also taken massive steps back as a result, as well.
