OK, so lets look at the future in a different way...
What if the manned space program had not been effectively killed in the early 70's? What if the dream of space exploration had been carried on through policy and funding? What if politicians and the bored public had gotten out of the way of the visionaries?
Where would we be now, thirty years later?
We could have been making our first real steps off this tiny pebble we call home into the vastness of the cosmos. We could have been witness to the launching of gigantic starships of elegance and style.
We could have seen the birth of humanity's first deep space exploration vessel.
To the future that could have been I dedicate the Arcturus!
