up in the sky

In a friend of mine's book, he reflects that the future ain't what it used to be. Remember what they said, in the 30s, 40s, 50s, & 60s, what the future would look like? And how none of it came true? I remember seeing something in a 1979 Reader's Digest that flying cars would be available by 1989.

Anyway, Wired has the NASA seventies vision of future space stations...and they're much cooler than what we have.
