“2001: A Space Odyssey" and “Star Trek” captured the public’s imagination in the 60's and changed the way we see our future.
Technology has progressed since then, to the point where a full-fledged space station is now orbiting the earth, preparing to be the next launch pad to colonize the Moon and Mars.
Back in Hollywood, blockbuster movie productions like “Star Wars” and “Alien” followed the earlier works with sequels opening to popular and critical acclaim. Today's picture shows can render on the screen with perfect quality just about anything that we can think of... past, present or future.
The interesting thing is that current productions are struggling to be more original and imaginative than current reality.
Although a real starship could potentially be less than a century or so away, it just may not be part of our future. It could, in fact, become “old hat” very soon when compared to the developments and directions that technology is taking, even today.
Welcome to a brave new reality.
This is an attempt to witness and record an astonishing period in our history, hopefully without getting too lost or distracted, and bring you along for the ride.
