      This is making me think…

      1. Some guy hates his job, which is to fly to Voyager from Space station Gamma 32 and clean it off, because kids like to take their spacecraft out and tag it with rude names. Voyager still continues on it’s trek. The guy hates his job, it’s just what was known as a Janitor on Earth, which has almost no purpose in the post-consumption society.

      And yet we sit here in 2023 and would be utterly fascinating with every single part of that idea. I don’t know if we’ll ever reach it, but I could see a future that is so far ahead of where we are today, that it would be unrecognizable.

      I hope we have a chance to get there.

        Let’s hope so. Apart from all these conflicts going on in the world we have also the environmental crisis, so unless we figure out some wonder technology in the next few years don’t see a good future for human kind.
