There's a difference
Back then, they built systems as well as they could to support unbelievably capable specialists who actually controlled things.
Today they're trying to build expert systems that can run themselves as long as the naked monkeys sitting in front of the TVs keep their hands off everything.
Which actually sort of makes sense when you're talking about the unmanned vehicles they've been sending out for the last couple of decades. I wonder if there's anyone in the system who's still thinking in terms of expert experts.
