Where are the orbital hotels? Where are the lunar vacation resorts?
All we have is this Internet thingie and frankly, the rest of it is shaping up to be fairly dystopian, if one were to look at today from 1960. More TV channels, safer cars, but no hypersonic transports? We're still in the Jet Age, fer chrissakes!
Well, it's probably a good thing that there was no way in 1960 to see forward fifty years. If they could have, between the collapse of the USSR and the rise of dunderheaded politicians in this country like Chimpy and Caribou Barbie, Eisenhower and Khrushchev might have concluded that maybe a nuclear war was the least bad option.
