There's a whole lot of chatter about "generations" and which generations suck and which ones are good and who belongs to which generation. Now. I don't claim to be a scholar here but I thought it would be good for me to define the generations so we all know who we are bagging on.
Millennials - born between 1990 and now. Self, centered, annoying. They are to blame for many bad things that are happening.
Generation X - born between 1965 and 1989. Good people, very chill, will help others. These people are keepers.
Baby Boomers - born between 1945 and 1964 - see "Millennials"
Generation Old - born before 1945 - Good in combat situations but now expect everything to be handed to them. Also see "Generation X"
Its funny but seeing it written down like this I sense a pattern. Soon some cool people will be born.

Not much difference between characterizing folks by ethnicity & gender, vs. by their year of birth.

In the old days we would have trolls of various sort come to PZ and harass everyone, most of the time it would end up solidifying the group to concentrate on one common enemy. Same concept with the banned people, instead of picking at each other about baby boomers and gen xers we would all be distracted and stop the repetitious inner bickering, in theory that is.

Water purification
NASA engineers are collaborating with qualified companies to develop systems intended to sustain the astronauts living on the International Space Station and future Moon and space missions. This system turns wastewater from respiration, sweat, and urine into drinkable water. Commercially, this system is benefiting people all over the world who need affordable, clean water, especially in remote locations. By combining the benefits of chemical adsorption, ion exchange, and ultra-filtration processes, this technology can yield safe, drinkable water from the most challenging sources, such as in underdeveloped regions where well water may be heavily contaminated.[15][34]
Solar Cells
Single-crystal silicon solar cells are now widely available at low cost. The technology behind these solar devices—which provide up to 50% more power than conventional solar cells—originated with the efforts of a NASA-sponsored 28-member coalition forming the Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) Alliance. ERAST’s goal was to develop remotely piloted aircraft, intended to fly unmanned at high altitudes for days at a time and requiring advanced solar power sources that did not add weight. As a result, SunPower Corporation created advanced silicon-based cells for terrestrial or airborne applications.[16]:66–67
Pollution remediation
NASA’s microencapsulating technology enabled the creation of a "Petroleum Remediation Product," which safely cleans petroleum-based pollutants from water. The PRP uses thousands of microcapsules—tiny balls of beeswax with hollow centers. Water cannot penetrate the microcapsule’s cell, but oil is absorbed into the beeswax spheres as they float on the water’s surface. Contaminating chemical compounds that originally come from crude oil (such as fuels, motor oils, or petroleum hydrocarbons) are caught before they settle, limiting damage to ocean beds.[21][31]
Correcting for GPS signal errors
In the 1990s, NASA scientists at JPL developed software capable of correcting for GPS signal errors, enabling accuracy within inches. The software is called Real-Time GIPSY (RTG). John Deere licensed the software and used it to develop self-driving farm equipment. As of 2016, as nearly 70% of North American farmland is cultivated by self-driving tractors, which rely on RTG originally developed at NASA.[35]
Water location
Dr. Alain Gachet founded Radar Technologies International (RTI) in 1999 to use satellite generated data to identify probable locations of precious metals and during its use found it could also detect water. The system developed with this data, WATEX, uses about 80 percent of its data inputs from publically available NASA information. This free information allowed RTI to develop the WATEX system to successfully locate water sources, such as in 2004 at refugee camps during the War in Darfur.[36]b

People give the Millenials shit, but Gen Xers who listen exclusively to classic rock and idealize the lost Woodstockian utopia have no true identity. Millenials are firmly rooted in their own time; Boomer-adoring Gen Xers are adrift in a fog of cultural irrelevance. They failed to seize their own place & time in history, and they have no real voice of their own.
