That it would have GPS and access to the internet? What about the touch screen? these people were using rotary dial phone and watching black and white TV. They would react the exact same way you are right now, "We will never have something like that! Phones and TVs will never get better!"

You're clueless about a lot of things. No one ever said "We will never have something like that! Phones and TVs will never get better!"
No one really said that, and no one really thought that. I get the feeling most of your historical understanding comes from commercial breaks during Ice Truckers on the History Channel. There's no indication of any astronomical understanding on your part in this thread. We crossed the mother ****ing ocean. Great. The chance of getting to another solar system without a breakthrough of evidence and application of string theory or use of the seventh or eighth dimension is as close to zero as you can think of before falling asleep.
I don't ****ing care if you went to Disney World, took a Space Mountain ride, play the Star Wars games, and was told that if you can imagine it, you can achieve it. Our galaxy is huge. All our knowledge about it is increasing, and it's not leading to this idea that we're going to be going somewhere else. It's the opposite. We're ****ing here for good. Get the **** over it.
