Ahh word. I'm speaking in terms of space travel and study.

I follow NASA quite a bit, a guy i went to college with is an Aerospace Engineer at NASA, he has worked on Project Viper for a long time.

The tech that has come forward in the last 15 years is outstanding. We were essentially using 1970-80's tech all the way up until 2006. The communications systems, rocket propulsion, guidance systems, space suits, safety protocols, software, etc. It has all changed so much due to SpaceX getting involved. NASA gave them billions to provide engineering advancements and they did it, at a reduced cost.  NASA has pissed away billions of dollars over the last few decades, they are terrible at spending money and aren't really held accountable.

Of course it all comes from funding, but SpaceX has done so much with the money they have been given it's crazy. There is also a lot less wasted funds, NASA was spending 10 times what SpaceX received per year and made very little progress in the last 20 years.

Better engineering, better management and better return on the money.

The technology advancements in aerospace will eventually trickle down to us here, it just depends on how practical the tech is and if it's financially possible to scale up for the world to use.
With all of these advances in space craft how much more space exploration are we doing?  I haven't seen any change at all.

Not much as far as manned space travel. Other than trips to the station, there really isn't a chance of going much further. They aren't planning any manned moon landings and Mars is way too far away to even consider. I doubt that will happen in our lifetime.

I guess they are using Porsche space ships instead of Ford Pinto. ;D

The un-manned exploration has made a lot of progress too, but has little to do with SpaceX. It's much easier when you don't have to keep people alive.

I live in London and according to current trends, when we want to get to our destination too quickly, car rental from nyc is the best option in the whole world. I choose the best and most comfortable car on realcar.nyc , which gets to the destination very quickly and ensures safety, trust and reliability.

China has been at it.
