Whether big or small. We all have that one thing from Scifi we wished were real. I'd love to see a cool underground city with like a SkyDome or a space hotel for instance.

Terraform a planet.

Not like those dead rocks out there such as Mars or the Moon though, I mean like terraform Earth.

If we can't even manage the pollution and climate change right here on Earth, how the fuck they think they're gonna bring dead space rocks to life?

At the current rate, wherever humans go, we'll just bring our trashy ways with us...

Terraforming Earth. Making Earth Earthlike.

That's called geoengineering generally

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 13 points 4 days ago

And it’s a very bad idea to experiment geoengineering with Earth. You don’t develop in production.

A caring society

Downloadable internet. You stick a pendrive in your PC with internet connection, fill it with internet and then go wherever you want, you have a usb router with data available to use and surf the net.

Flying cars.

Asteroid mining.

Maybe a Moon or Mars colony.

End poverty.

Universal basic income/ post scarcity society.

Least to most fictional I think.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

We have flying cars. They're called helicopters. And the limits to us having post scarcity are all societal/political, not technological.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The limit is skill and discipline.

Most people can’t even drive a car that is held on the ground by gravity. You want them to…fly?
