re: 1968
Thanks for your great post, Robert!
Mary Anne is right : you should post more often...Well, we're all free.
I don't sense at all the same division in Europe as in the US.
And I'm afraid not having lived in the US makes me a little at odds with some of the knee-jerk expressions at HZ (I've even never heard the expression "knee jerk" but only read it).
Yes, in Europe also, there was a youth reaction towards establishment in 1968; but then, for me 1968 was quite special: that's when I got interested in space and that's when humans left Earth's orbit for the first time!
