Right Godfrey,
maybe the last really great thing we did before our role in evolution
will be taken over by AI / Robotics.
I would give a few years of my life for a glance in the future.....

All of us, together. OMG! The whole world watched in awe and wonder, and was
uplifted by that fact.
All the problems of the world were then as well as now, as well as for all the
generations of history before and since. That will always be. And the true
sadness of the Apollo missions, despite all that pushing to do this and
creating all the technology and good stuff that it spawned which helps human
beings live longer, be more productive, and look at the world and the stars
around them with new insights, is that it ended and we haven't gone back or
further yet.
But, g*****n it, we managed to do something incredible. We did something worth
writing in the history of our species that no other species we know has done.
And all the naysayers and querulous ambivalents in the world can moan and whine
and whinge about whether we should have or not, but it doesn't matter at all:
We managed to do it, and it was good, and it is amazing, and it brought all of
us worldwide together for one shining moment of joy and wonder.
If that's not worth whatever it cost, then nothing is.
