A minute of fulfilling promises. In the 1970s, uv. Friends, American space officials have promised the country to produce a cheap ship that will fly into space every week, and each of its launches will cost 10.5 million dollars. The project of this ship is called the Space Shuttle. In fact, each shuttle launch cost $1.45 billion, and all the shuttles combined completed 135 flights over thirty years. If you delve into history, you can find a lot more space shuttles than you expect. I will say more: perhaps, in general, all large-scale things in the world - including those we tend to remember nostalgically as "how big we loved" - were in fact a huge, huge disappointment against the background of expectations and promises. what do i mean Perhaps our current planetary epidemic of despondency and disappointment (everything fails, blitzkriegs last for years and never end, breakthrough technologies turn against those who were involved in them especially intensively, the saviors of the economies and the lives of adults turn out to be clowns) - this is not an epidemic at all, but the norm? After all, it could be that a persistent puckup is actually a natural state of shock. of humanity, and periodic buds of optimism are more likely to be fluctuations? And nothing, so from these crises of disappointments and knocks, history collects something useful for the next age.
