>Nobody has new ideas, we're still just making things people thought up 75 years ago
This is true for almost all advancement in technology these days, not just spaceflight. Shit like machine learning and neural networks was all thought up in '80s, we just didn't have the processing power and cloud infrastructure to pull it off on a large scale until a few years ago. Our advancement as a species isn't held back by a lack of innovation but simply an inability to devote economic resources to advancing as a species.
Humanity peaked in 20th century and we're all just coasting off the achievements of our forefathers.
