As a youth I fully expected to have job opportunities on the moon. That's what we were being told in the early '70s. I also remember Walter Conkrite speaking with an expert that said we should expect to have people landing on Mars by 1982. Yes, economics is a big part, but people seem to have such little expectations now. Most young people I know are more concerned with making money than making a difference. So much for optimism.
