RE: Orbital Urbanism : Space Colonies of the 1970s
Damn if you see these drawing you wonder what went wrong! How did we lose our visionary ideas and dreams in the least centuries and are now stuck with 1984 reality? Humanity could be so much more advanced, we have the technology, we have the people but our focus is on gender circus and more.
I really hope we will find more entrepreneurs like Elon Musk that push the future and give us back hope for a brighter future. Let's build a long lasting future together!
That's what the film Elysium that other people have mentioned addresses. How we got to space colonies for the rich and nothing for everyone else.
Hah! You really do. It's almost depressing that Elysium was based on these drawings, frame for frame. You'd think a sci-fi fantasy movie would have more contemporary options to chose from. Here's hoping that the hyperloop and other initiatives open up a new generation of big thinkers and builders.
