Back in 1953, space was on everybody's mind. In the not-too-distant future, we were all going to live there, work there, even walk our dogs there. Today those dreams are all but vanished. But there's hope. Private entrepreneurs, engineers, and explorers are making progress in reviving those dreams.



My birthday wish today is that they all come true.
