Quote[/b] ]<span style='color:green'>You'll have a home control room - an electronics centre, where messages will be recorded when you're away from home. This will play back when you return, and also give you up-to-the minute world news, and transcribe your latest mail.

Here's a way to see if you can predict the future any better than they did two generations ago. Post a message to yourself or even someone you know. Make a prediction or a dozen and see how they turn out in a decade or two. Or as it was in the link above 45 years...

I still like the idea of Quote[/b] ]By the year 2020, five per cent of the world's population will have emigrated into space. Many will have visited the moon and beyond.

Any chance I could have some input on who emigrates into space? I already have a few candidates in mind...
