I was fairly young at the time but still remember _Tomorrow's World_ (A BBC TV show about science and inventions) talking about HOTOL. To ~6 year old me, raised on watching Thunderbirds, Star Trek and NASA launches, it felt great that we'd be getting our very own Shuttle.
Much much older me loves messing around with scramjets and air-breathing rockets in Kerbal Space Program. Or spending real-world months exploring the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way in Elite: Dangerous. I guess our imagination always outstripped our ability, but to be honest I don't mind so much nowadays. Mostly because I'm partially disabled and would never get on any kind of space or Mars missions to start with.
