Citation for essay in Analog about speed of travel


I recall, as a child in the 1970's, reading an essay that I think was in Analog about the speed of technological progress and, in particular, the fastest modes of travel. There was a plot of fastest modes of travel over time (I think it was one that has more recently been featured in the book What Technology Wants), and the author was arguing that we should take seriously the prediction implied by the plot that interstellar travel would be possible by 2010 or so.


I realize the article I'm looking for isn't itself science fiction, but it's in a science fiction publication, and so I think this community would be better suited to answer it than anybody, and (I hope) interested in the answer too.
