In point of fact: in 1969 the USA developed TIME TRAVEL.
(The TV Show "Seven Days" was completely off the mark!)
So, what they did was... send a Go Team into the future with their 'Moon Landing' Props and 20th Century Cameras!! The folk in the Future took the Go Team (and material) to the Moon in a Space Tripper {the Go Team had cunningly included a 'Second Stage Time-Traveller'}.... So, the Go Team THEN went BACK to 1969 on the Lunar surface! Then, they set up ALL their props, did their experiments, and took their photographs (also took Lunar samples)!
THEN, they Time-travelled BACK TO THE FUTURE with the 'Second Stage Time-Traveller' where the Future folk were waiting to take them back to the Earth in their Space Tripper!
A simple matter then for them to return to 1969 once they had returned to the Earth! They then could 'Helo' out to the carrier, pretending that the helicopter had just picked them out of the water (on Splashdown), where they could wave to the sailors before going into isolation where they could get their stories straight!.... So, there you have it! No Space Travel in 1969, just Time Travel and a LOT of complicated Time-Travelling and stuff!
"What's that? Have I taken my pill yet?"..... "Aw! Gee!"... .
"...and since noone is making the C=64 now, this is sad..."
You spoke TOO soon! Check out the CommodoreOne, a re-creation of the famous C64, through the use of modern components. (PS- Jeri, the lady making it, is a fine-looking female!)
to the GIF licencing halaballoo! And you can THANK an Amiga Software company (Cloanto of Italy) for this! Their PersonalPaint package was the first app to use it. The "Amiga Forever" emulation package is their major product at the moment. .
"and we expect that internet will have further development and readiness of use for people, and everyone will be able to use necessary information at any time any place without consciousness."
Wow! The end development they expect is the delivery of information 'without consciousness'; which must mean while in an unconscious state!
That must mean......... 'sleep learning' through your net connection!? .
Have to agree about the A2000 keyboard! Still using the original since 1991. Had one trip to Synapse (Brisbane IBM & Amiga RepairShop) to 'sort out' 3 sticking keys. (Really miss the home-position points on the C128D keyboard 'thou!) .
The NEWS from Australia: He's well PAST his start point. Steve Fosset expects to be near the Queensland border by daybreak (local time). The speed of the airflow (wind) is making it dangerous to land. If this keeps up, he should have travelled 24,000 miles (have a look at a good map for the West-East distance of Australia's coasts). Remember, he took-off in the South-West corner of Western Australia. Unfortunitely, I don't think he has enough fuel and supplies to go around a second time! .
Wrong about that speed (unless I misread you) of 14 MHz. To read from an A500 flyer (the one that introduced the A590 Hard Drive): SPECIFICATIONS CPU MEMORY Motorola 68000 . 16/32 bit . clock 7.16 MHz 512 KB RAM standard . 1 MB RAM with optional internal memory expansion A501 (user installable).
The Amiga had a slower CPU clock speed than the Atari ST but outperformed the Atari because of the multiple co-processors and the separate memory bus at which the co-processors got preferencial access.
To this day formatting a floppy does not affect other operations. .
I can just picture John McClane (Bruce Willis), wounded and tired, trugging through the snow from emergency-slide to emergency-slide all around a giant 800 passenger aircraft calling out "Holly! Holly! Holly!"....
... and she hears his voice but can't see him amoung the hundreds of people on the ground! .
'ten Muslim guys jumping up and down on left side of the plane' may be malignant but that kind of weight shift on a 800 passenger aircraft would be insignificant!. But still, (just to be safe) in ten years time flight schools should watch out for quiet bearded men who want to be able to fly but don't want to be able to land. .
I remember a short science fiction story from the pulp era, in which rocket-plane passengers had individual View-screens to show them the terrain over which they were passing.
-We're slowly catching up to the concepts of fiction! .
The answer to that is modern materials, and construction techniques.
The Burnelli UB-14B airliner of 1935 (and the British OA-1 of 1937) used an airfoil-shaped fuselage with flat sides inline with the outer sides of the twin engines. The Canadian CBY-3 Loadmaster followed after WW II but no others followed. Burnelli's 'lifting-fuselage' design had reached maturity but remained a concept too far ahead of its time.
Other similar 'lifting-body' fuselage designs include Dyle & Bacalan's DB 70 and DB 71 with three engines. These had a saloon sitting eight at tables in the thickest section.
A more conventional shape, the Junkers G 38 of 1929 had wings of such span and chord that a three passenger cabin was included in the wing leading edge on each side of the fuselage with forward-facing glazed panels. Only two G 38s were built.
-Aircraft builders today have differant materials to work with. .
Darn! I coined THAT line for a office junior to say in a short film (Cubical Crisis) in which a computer converted to Linux dies, and the junior figures out that MS is responsible! .

Its a great pity that the ZIP technology is not as reliable as the three and one half inch floppy:
remember this?

Referring to your forth point, here is a Non-Politally Correct joke:
How do you tell if an aircraft that has just landed is from the UK?
- The whining continues after the engines have been shut-down!
.
Alternately, try ABC Aust news story here.

Wait! Ask yourself this:
"How do you know that Americans actually exist?"
You only believe that Americans exist because of the inflow of Data.
Now! What if that Data is FALSE?
That's right - if that Data is FALSE; Americans may not actually exist!
And, if Americans do not actually exist then they can't have gone to the Moon!
If fact, your whole knowledge of the Universe may be based on FALSE Data!
And if you think on this some, you may come to the conclusion that I may not even exist?!
Now, a FINAL question: how do YOU know that YOU actually exist?

Sorry about that! Try this.

What I found of interest at that site was Jorgen's story (and data) of his UFO Magnetic Field Sensor.

I heard about that! Didn't some guys hold 'Hard Drive Races'?

Honestly, its enough to make your blood boil!!

One thing that always amuses me is the sight of ppl trying to photograph fireworks displays with hand-held common flash cameras.
When I was eleven, I learned to use a tripod-mounted time-exposure with a cable-release. 2 or 3 seconds exposure with fast colour film.

"twenty years"?
20 years ago it was TRS, Apple II, PCjr, and Vic-20s/C64s! (8Bits)
Show us some other history you've re-written!

So ... do you think the PC will come back, or has MS/Intel/AMD killed it off for sure?
Hmmm?
You know, the PC, the present Games computer?
