Hello, Amy! You probably ae going to get that asked a lot, but still... Why, after all the achievements during the space race between USSR and USA, we stopped any development directed towards space exploration for decades?

Also, as a person who is somewhat close to space myself, what kind of future do you see for spaceflight? What will win, reusable rockets, cheap disposable rockets or less conventional methods of propulsion (Gauss cannon to the orbit?)?

I do agree that the recent advances, like robotic missions you mentioned, or other fairly impressive missions such as Juno, were quite something. But all of these are fairly recent, done in 2000s, what about before that?

Not to mention that, unlike the more darng mission of Juno, the Martian missions have been done and repeated for several times, definitely improving, but still not visibly pushing the horizons of possiblity.

I am however quite happy to note that not NASA alone is working on space exploration right now, and ESA as well s other national agencies do so as well.

What I'm really asking, is what was between? Has there been a periond between that time and 2000s, or is it just an illusion due to the changing nature of media and kept records?

What kind of games have you released before? (Wonder if I played any...)

What made you stop experimenting with programming and start making full games?
