What the next First Turning won't be like

Come to think of it, the last high didn't have much of an explicit name.  The Cold War was at its height.  It saw the last remnant's of Hollywood's golden age.  With most economies hurt bad because of the war and an end to colonialism, the US had an economic golden age.  Elvis and Rock n Roll were taking off.  While the era was distinctive enough, was there really a name?

If highs are associated with infrastructure building, a name would perhaps go with that.  The Second Space Age, with the Starship and New Glenn being at the center?  Could fusion be finally made to work, with a rush to it to beat down the greenhouse emissions?  Could one of Pope Xenakis's wars of the week finally take off?
