What Have We Become?

My folks were a terrible couple and the mystery of my unlikely birth has puzzled me. Except I was born 9 months after Apollo 10 so I figured mom musta been "in to it"..... While I know WHERE i was, for the actual landing i certainly don't remember anything.
As far as what we've become, consider that our most successful can build their own and fly them too while China's most successful go to jail for dissent.
