I think it is the natural development of things!
Just because something is a natural development doesn't mean we don't get to be excited when it happens.
I think airplanes becoming a mode of mass transit were a natural development. It probably seemed like a pretty exciting development as that transition was happening.
Similarly, once you have computers it seems natural to develop a global interconnected network of them. I was pretty excited when that was taking off!
Also, just because the ordering is natural doesn't mean the timing is natural. We've expected these kinds of developments to happen in space for a long time. But we didn't know when they would happen. It was thought that this change might happen in the 70's or 80's. Others thought it might be as far off as 2040 or 2050.
The fact that we're seeing some real tangible evidence of progress _now_ is super exciting.
