Space Travel to ???

Last night I watched Discovery Channel's series "When We Left Earth" documenting some of the NASA Missions and how we got to the moon and to space. One quote from Eugene Kranz, the flight director from several of the Apollo Space Missions stuck with me when he was talking about Houston control room during these missions (paraphrased from memory).

We worked with the best. The average age was 26. I was 36 and was the oldest person in the room.

Kind of cool to think that young professionals were responsible for making history happen. They kept saying over and over again throughout the interviews with the various astronauts and systems engineers that anything was possible. So what is next, Gen Y?
