The movie would have you believe that in just 80 years from now we have corporations sending-out huge FTL ships bearing people who have been in hypersleep while traveling 500,000 light years in two years time.

It has been over 50 years since we landed on the moon and I am still waiting for my flying car.

I am still waiting for my flying car.

I had a flying car when I was 16.

But I found the bouncing and flipping to be not worth the trouble as we made contact with the ground again a few seconds later, and again and again...

Is the 500,000 figure from the movie? Our galaxy is 100,000 lys across. Perhaps a nearby dwarf galaxy ? Was this covered in the movie ? ( That's a joke. )

As a citizen of the future, do you have any good stock tips?

Then again, it was less than 40 years from the Wright Brothers (1903) to the first jet fighter (1942, the German ME 262)
