The Future

Well, it’s not looking too good right now. I used to think the future would be all about flying cars, vacations on the Moon, and of course…joining Star Fleet. Not anymore. Our oceans are choked with garbage, and our air is full of environmental poisons. We’ll be lucky if our grandchildren will be able to live on the planet. But I remain hopeful. Not because I think that we’ll grow up and get down to dealing with our climate problem. No, I think that as our cities flood, our food supplies dwindle and our oceans die, the threat of starvation and death will motivate us to innovate the technologies we need to clean up the mess we made of this planet. As well as a lot of cool, fun stuff to look forward to if we make it.
