It just shows what NASA was capable of back in those days....Unfortunately soon after this we became satisfied with whirling around the earth, a few hundred miles up, and abandoning all the big dreams.

People still dream, NASA just doen't receive the $$ like it used to.
Plus, they need to really figure out new propulsion technologies to help get rockets off the ground and into orbit. Way too expensive right now for larger payloads.
