07. What are the "futuristics" of space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

Futuristics is the study or prediction of future developments based on existing conditions. The futuristics of space are ideas and predictions of what we may be able to do in space in the future, based on the technology and science that we know today. One example is the possibility of people traveling to other planets in our solar system. It is not possible to make such a trip with existing technology, but we can imagine tools that we could make soon that would make the trip possible.
