Hopefully, this is a date that my grand kids will have to memorize for a test.

Share this on your face books. Spread the word. This is where research dollars need to go.

There's no point in making "better" nuclear weapons. That's like polishing your sledge hammer.

I read something when I was in my late teens, and my Sci Fi muscle was strong, that we would invent cold fusion in 2050. ...Assuming the then current technological advancement arc, as exponential as it seems. ....
So, I thought. ...
I'll be 80 in 2050. I can live that long. I wanna see that. And I thought. ..I bet we beat that date. Still, I do want to be 80 one day. And how different everything would be if energy were free. It would be like magic were real.

And I bet advancements in other things, like wireless energy delivery, and miniaturization of technology will make things appear to BE magic.

I really hope we don't fuck this up.
