Boomer generation started in 1946, they didn't leave college until 1968. It was the previous generation that built NASA and landed on the moon. Boomers were the ones who stopped the space program and turned it into a jobs program. Gen X graduated at the end of the 80s and brought new energy into the 90s to build the first dot com and the internet economy, and people like Musk and Beck are the ones shaking up the space industry. Boomers were involved in Viking and Voyager, but their main contribution to space was the Shuttle and the ISS.
