A rat done bit my sister Nell.

Her face and arms began to swell.

I can’t pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey’s on the Moon)
Ten years from now I’ll be paying still.

This seems… unrelated?
Right? Stop flinging nerds into space and start feeding the hungry.
OR, how about we stop flinging nerds into space and we still don’t feed the hungry?
-Current US regime
Yawn
No we house people on the moon. If there was an actual colony on the moon I would 100% go there. Earth sucks, it’s got all this pointless outside that I never use.

Besties all the air, water, and carbon based life forms you need to eat anyway.
I wanted to show real time rendered graphics in the same interval, but there were no real time graphics in 1959.
Still, these two are 33 years apart, so we can do half.
New technologies tend to explode very quickly while there is obvious iteration and improvement from a new principle left on the table and then they settle down as the room for improvement shrinks.
fyi: you can make these show up in your comment by using

My experience with how these are rendered in different apps is… inconsistent. I’m not on a Lemmy instance, so I end up going with the simplest option.
If and when all Fedi apps do this properly… well, at that point I wouldn’t have to add anything manually, would I?
Rockets are far older than airplanes and have absolutely nothing in common with each other, other than “things you do in the air”. It’s equivalent to taking a shit and brushing your teeth. Not connected at all.
Except they absolutely influence each other and to pretend like there is a world where one exists without the other, especially building a spaceworthy rocket, is just wrong. Aerospace principles are highly intertwined even if the application of knowledge gained from either is applied differently.
I would say that they’re like brushing and flossing. Very different on the face of it but the background to either is completely linked to the other. Each informs and aids the practice of the other.
You could argue that spitting out some pixels on a CRT has about as much to do with rendering millions of polygons into multiple frame buffers and collecting the whole thing into a digital image to output over HDMI.
The OP makes a decent leap in terms of “things that move us away from the ground”, I don’t have a problem with it, even if there are a handful of big changes in methodology along the way.
I mean, if we take your caveat at face value we end up with some combination of the Concorde, a F-35, the A380 and a remote controlled drone. Honestly, the point stands just as well.

What will come next in 2035? … at the rate we’re going, probably something stupid like femboy hitler
ROFL
If the news in 2035 must be dominated by a hitler figure, then I will take solace that for some reason this hitler is a femboy.

mRNA vaccines. Net positive power output from fusion. Off the top of my head.
I agree with your concept of capitalism killing innovation and forcing people into dead-end jobs. But that doesn’t mean technical innovation is dead. Just means it’s not progressing optimally and not benefiting the right people.
Generative AI too. It might be hammered into everything to the point of being tiresome, but it is technologically impressive that you can have a computer just synthesise a photo/video/music.
Compare to 20 years ago. Being able to just go “Computer, create for me an original landscape painting”, and have it make one would be something that you’d only find on television/in movies.
isn’t that goochie goo autism old guy halting mRNA research?
Not in any civilized country, no.
In 2025, most everyone in the world can translate foreign languages at the press of a button. I dislike Gwern since he’s a bigot, but I like his article, “My Ordinary Life: Improvements Since the 1990s.”
We could do that in 2010, which is about where it stagnated.
Google translate isn’t much better than it was in 2010, but LLMs do a much better job. Admittedly, Google Translate is what most people use. It works well enough though.
Yeah. Last tine we gor any positive modal shift was smart phones. That was 17 years ago.

The phones weren’t the problem.
Well, they fucked uo design a lot, but tgey didn’t ruin everything.
No wonder it took that plane 66 years to fly to the moon. It looks really slow.
Amazing how photography technology improved.
In other news, this is what computers looked like 66 years ago. Where/when did we go astray?
I agree, I’m surprised that thing doesn’t have an ashtray.
flat-screen LCD monitors were a mistake.
Hard to believe that man landed on the moon only 60+ years after landing on Earth. Makes you wonder what’s next
Landing on the moon again. It’s been over fifty years since we’ve been back.
Well there is the Artemis program although it seems massively overly complicated.
SLS is basically just the Apollo rocket again, except without a lander. Then they’re going to dock with a space station that they haven’t built, and transfer via the space station onto a lander produce by SpaceX (although possibly there will be others), then land on the moon in the lander;and construct a permanent habitat on the moon. Presumably the space station will do something other than serve as a transfer system but I don’t really know what.
With the trump administration though it’s anyone’s guess what happens I’m assuming that they’ll probably cut funding so it won’t happen anyway.
Or perhaps another earth landing
Hmm, how about AI powered facism?
We’re still ignoring the history of all flight and rocketry prior to the invention of the heavier than air aircraft, I see.
Right, we have a glider back in 1853, and rockets forever (thanks war!). Just took a little extra time to put it all together.
Time to make another deal with aliens to the next big jump
what is even the point of this graph? GDP is a nonsensical metric that barely tells anything about the economy, let alone society and technology.
you could substitute almost any other graph. This isn’t about GDP really, just about change.
GDP is the metric of more, that’s all they are concerned about
These are two different tech trees. Rockets had 1000+ years of development to get to this point while aeroplanes had ~30. I hate that this bullshit gets repeated. They are not equivalent in any way.
Pretty sure flight and orbital mechanics have some overlap.
Photography advanced by a lot in that time.
Pretty sure people invented flags long time ago.
