My hopes, really don't follow the current direction that things are going.
I am fairly certain though that it won't go to either a Utopian nor a Dystopian types of societies.
Both involve extremes. And I don't believe either is in us a a people. Individually that is different.
Unfortunately I do see a type of aristocratic type of society in the future. It's already showing it's ugly face, where everything is built on wealth.
The technology of the future really doesn't matter. How society is run is what does matter.
Outer space travel I do see as a necessity. This world is already running out of resources as is. Yet it not going to be for the poor.
Elon Musk has already proved that. 😞
Only if government influence out weights the wealthy will space be even for the common person.
That just is not happening.
