@wonderofscience@mastodon.social This reminds of something that's been on my mind lately. During this period of rapid development of aerospace tech we believed that we'd have colonies on Mars in years. Yer shortly after the progress seemingly stalled. Problems have become more difficult. In the recent decades we've seen similar progress, but with information tech. And it is obvious that the growth we've seen is over. All the easy problems have been solved. And the recent crypto and AI bubbles are just copium.
