Case in point, here below—a glimpse of the future in 2050. I'm all for space exploration, but this scenario bugs me with the thought of so many people in such a hurry to get from one side of the world to the other, just to get stuck in a traffic jam leaving the aeroport, just to get to their important meetings and their rat race lives.
Okay, I'm being cynical, but truly I think that our future lives should go the direction of simpler and slower, to be satisfied with less. I dunno, check back with me in 39 years and we'll compare notes with how it's going.

My husband and I were talking about Challenger, the day of the tragedy's Anniversary. I was standing on the sidewalk outside of our then apartment with a pair of binoculars, while he was at work a few miles away. He was the only one from his office, outside and also watching. I saw the shuttle do a fiery split, rather than the typical drop-off of the stages, and I remember saying to myself, that doesn't look right. I ran back upstairs and saw the news coverage, paralyzed in disbelief like everyone else.
... I am a great fan of McCall. But his late work is just too silly and hippy-dippy.
