Broad sweeping generalizations about how stupid baby boomers are tend, by and large, to be just as true as broad sweeping generalizations about how stupid millennials are.

I guess I can understand why gen Xers are trying to build rockets to get off of this rock. No place for them in the system.

People were building rockets and actually going to the moon long before Gen X.
