The majority of people didn't care about people like the Wright brothers trying to fly. Apathy is not new to humanity at all.

You need to realise that people haven't stopped dreaming, it's that we're dreaming about things that are even more difficult to do. Going to the moon is hard, going to Mars makes it look like a picnic, you have SO many other variables to take into account that it's mind boggling.

To me it feels like the simpler, yet still difficult things have been done, the more complex, in-depth ideas are going to take a little more time to work on.
