I love that fact that there are "usual procedures" when it comes to humans going back and forth to our 20-year-old SPACE STATION! Maybe we don't have the space program of our dreams. But we've certainly accomplished the

Those making $200k-$500k are the new middle class. Are you making that much but only own one house? Are your cars more than 5 years old... Ding... you're in the middle class.
