    Now to be quite honest, we do have “flying cars” ( more so riding planes ). And a lot of countries are throwing looks at 4 day week work, which isn’t 2 but still, progress ( Except Greece IIRC which went back to 6 day a week ).

    Now I am really baffled why the hell did space conquest stopped tho.

      Because it isn’t profitable right now. The first time you see someone successfully mine an asteroid, or sell property on the moon, is when you’ll see the space race explode again. Until then there’s not really any money out there.
