66 years is a long time. Considering that 1969 was 56 years ago, we still have 10 years to do something similarly worthwhile.

... 10 years is also a long time. It can wait until tomorrow.

    I've had that mindset of "10 years is a long time; what's one more day" since adolescence. Boom, now it's 16 years in the future and I'm suddenly a dysfunctional adult struggling to get through each day.

    But on the bright side, I just began medication for ADHD, and it's not only life changing, it's life saving. I feel capable, motivated, and determined for the first time in my life. Let's build the future so that 2035 will be a milestone for humanity!

    I don't think that is as big as the moon landing. Finding alien life would be more in the same vein.

    We would need a significant technological boost to be able to see the surfaces of alien worlds, I think that technology alone would be a candidate for innovation. After all whether or not we find aliens is not dependant on the technology but depending on if there are any to find.
