The return to the Moon marks more than a technological milestone—it represents a shift in how humanity approaches space.

One hundred years from now, the Moon may no longer be a distant destination, but a place where people live, work, and even take a weekend vacation.

The Moon has always been part of our story.

The costumes in Star Wars and Alien look so much better than in any other scifi movies or shows from the 70s (or even 80s) because they didn't try to make the outfits and hairstyles look futuristic.

Attempts to envision futuristic fashion always look very dated very quickly, and back in the 20th century, generally cheap.

It's also why I think the costuming in Star Trek Enterprise looks much more believable than anything in NuTrek.
