Yeah we're missing 2001's lunar hotel and human spaceflight to Jupiter, but killer AI seems on point.

Quadcopter/drone tech seems like it's bringing us closer to Blade Runner's flying cars of 2019, although noise and safety are major issues.

and jetpacks! Aside from internet, smartphones, smart watches, self-driving cars, electric bikes, solar tech, advanced batteries, amazing mRNA vaccines, what has technology ever done for us? Nothing!

I was a "NASA" kid, was 5 when man landed on the moon, blew off a uni exam to watch the first shuttle landing, still amazed when a Falcon 9 lands on a ship, can hear "1201 alarm, kicking up some dust" and see the grey video and the shadow of the LEM...

But Chuck Yeager making that first "boom" is still the boundary between yesterday and today.

I would say that Gagarin's flight was more a boundary beween before and after than was the flight of the X-1.
