> decades of stagnation.

So do the moon landings themselves don't count as significant government progress?

Even after that, you'd really consider the launch of countless satellites into low earth orbit which revolutionized earthbound technology including communication and GPS for everyone on the planet, an international space station, countless probes to the furthest reaches of our solar system and probes entering interstellar space, and space telescopes that have revolutionized our understanding of the universe "stagnation"?

You're seriously in a space enthusiasts sub saying that there has been no significant progress in space technology for the last 50 years?

Have a good day.
