Haven't done a space post in a while, so here we have a recently released picture of the first ever space walk done on June 7th, 1983 from the Challenger shuttle. On the one hand this is awesome and must have been amazing for the astronauts. Then I think of this. Between 1961 and 1983 we went from first going into to space, to going to the moon, to building these advanced reusable shuttles, to walking in space. Now what about between 1983 and 2014? It took us 22 years to accomplish all that, now 31 years have passed and nothing (with a small nod to the Mars programs.) We don't even have a space shuttle anymore, and this very shuttle was used up until 2011. That's a damn shame if you ask me.
