Oh, the things we've seen, and the things you will see
Space exploration has become such a routine part of the younger generation's everyday life that they don't always notice. That's a good sign, though, isn't it? Besides, in their time they will see many more wonders to tell their own bored children. I myself have lost count of how many people and things the USA has sent into space, and how many things they have done. That's besides the Russians, Japanese, Chinese, etc., who have headed out into the four winds of space. As I sit here watching the Curiosity Clock ticking down from 18 hours 22 minutes and 11 seconds, this ol' Space Age Kid would like to say thanks to every last person responsible for this wondrous space age. And thanks for reminding the rest of us that we are all part of it. You are most welcome.
