While those RC nuns were touting their heaven, my heaven had a place for me to watch what earthlings are doing.

@NR92, I often ask others what they ask. You asked, “Aren't you sad that you will not be able to witness the future science and technology discoveries”, so I asked it. Please do answer.

All it takes is some imagination.

Zero-gravity hotels circling earth.

Earth on total wind, battery, solar and hydro power.

Population reduced and leveled off

No burning of any fuels.

This tune is one of my favorites by Steely Dan - written in the 70's!

I.G.Y.
Steely Dan
Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream's in sight
You've got to admit it
At this point in time that it's clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K.
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
Get your ticket to that wheel in space
While there's time
The fix is in
You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky
You know we've got to win
Here at home we'll play in the city
Powered by the sun
Perfect weather for a streamlined world
There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
(More leisure for artists everywhere)
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
