Really? Looking at those archaic beasts? I was hoping that the race to space contest a few years back would inspire something less dangerous than exploding ourselves into orbit :p

Tricky is right about the flying cars and robot servants: Along those lines, remember all the talk in the late '80s & early '90s about "paperless offices" dominated by digital media? What the hell happened to that?
And the metric system? In the 1970's I remember we were told in school that the metric system would be the standard in a few years. Although practically all of the rest of the world is measuring things in meters and kilometers, we in the United States are still using inches and feet!
EDIT: Apologies to the OP since my rant has nothing at all to do with the very awesome photo of the shuttles on their respective launch pads. Though I wonder if NASA still uses inches and miles in their calculations.
