We went from the first ever flight in 1903, to putting a man on the moon in 1969. I don't know at what point the advances stopped, but I guess people thought they'd just keep going

Let's compare NASA engineer's salary to a engineer at Raytheon or Boeing's.

A lot of people that could have been rocket scientists went to work for wall street.
