Umm... Sputnik?

Ok, isn't it about time for people to stop using the words "space age" in promoting their crappy products? It's been the "space age" for 47 years now.

True, true...

I think they won't allow the space age definition to be used for.

Space fairing race: Occasionally manage to put an exploding tin can in space for a limited duration at the cost of millions; billions if you have passengers.

Wait for the days of weekend-shopping breaks to Io, for the great duty-free products - and there we'll have it.

Ugh, I'm not sure if I hope I'll be dead or alive to see that.

I'm a futurist. I hope with every fibre of my being that I live to see space tourism, and even colonialization far beyond this limited third rock. Population keeps expanding at an exponential rate, yet the Earth's surface area is a fixed measure. Soon, simply building skyward will not be answer enough. We will have to look beyond the sky for a practical means of habilitating humanity.
