How about a reusable rocket ship?

• ars 6y ago
  The space shuttle was meant to be reusable - it was built 40 years ago in 1980. I'm not saying there is no new tech, it just all seems incremental, not revolutionary. When I was younger every day it seemed there was something new. Today, not so much.

    Sounds more like a problem with your perception than a problem with all of civilization.

    You might just need to pay attention to the right things. Genetics is making steady progress and promises to revolutionize almost everything. Machine learning seems to be applicable to most things and if only suffering from a lack of optimization. The road to space is opening and we’re about to find out just how many new technologies will be made possible with unlimited solar power, microgravity, and untapped resources.

    And the space shuttle was crap. (I'm being overly dramatic, but it had severe flaws)

    "meant to be" versus rockets that land and can be reused.
