Everything I ever dreamed of as a kid, all the Isaac Asimov novels with all the wonders of the universe in them. We need to know how great it feels to be explorers – because it feels so much better than setting up wars isn’t it. I dream of a time in the future when even the gloomiest schmuck of a politician will get up in the morning and the first thought in their brain would be something good, something grand and something far away.<\/p>\n

All our dreams are becoming a reality, today in our solar system but who knows what tomorrow will bring. I’d imagine once a new propulsion is invented we’ll be hopping planets the way we do continents today. All the new dreams will, by necessity, replace the old needs for greed, violence and war.<\/p>\n

Remember when Asimov talked about silly machines that answer questions in every home<\/a>. I have a weird dream where overnight all purses become little models of space ships, all Ikea stores wake up as independence day like huge alien crafts just awoken from slumber – when they start rising and shaking – all kinds of particle board furniture starts falling off into big heaps… and humanity wakes up\u00a0to a future without a need for furniture.<\/p>\n
