ISS

As a kid I read a LOT of sci-fi. It lead me to think that one day in my lifetime we would have space travel, space stations, a moon base, etc.

Well here I am as an adult and we do have space travel, a space station, and if NASA's plans work around and about 2020 we should have a program for establishing a permanent human presence on the moon, and maybe if I am lucky (and quit smoking) on Mars as well.

Is this a great time to be alive or what?
