We won’t live long enough to see it, but I suspect Mars and beyond will not be simply a destination for rich vacationers.

I was a huge fan of Star Trek, TOS, but as I’ve watched tech advance enough, just in the short time since that series was on, to believe that it is as unlikely in the 23rd century to have human beings manning exploratory ships (like the Enterprise in the series) as it is unlikely to have transporter beams. It makes no sense when one carries forward the robot and IA tech of the early 21st century a couple of centuries.

That is, unless we discover some sort of unlimited and cheap power source as well as tech that allows instantaneous travel between any points in the universe.

Frankly, I also don’t think the Lord will wait that long. As much as I’m fascinated by modern tech, I think it will be our undoing, and in short order. I think we’re even seeing the beginning stages of it.

Stay tuned.
