It's almost 2025, what futuristic things did you think we would have had by now or accomplished?

First we sent small animals into space: a dog, then monkeys.

After that: people.

And then we stopped. I expected that we would have sent cows, horses, maybe even hippos or elephants by now.

What would be the point?

"we do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

But really I was just pretending to misunderstand the early test flights as a progression of sending larger life-forms, and that we should continue sending larger and larger animals.
