I agree.
Remember when “Blade Runner” came out (1982)? That was set in the future when we were spread out among the planets. I could believe it back then.
It was on the other night and as one of the replicants was fighting Deckard he stated their inception date 2017 so add four years and the movie was set in 2021.
We have fallen so far behind.
I watched Bladerunner last night.
Technologically we’re capable of about 12% the speed of light but the costs are astronomical and such a ship would need to be built in space due to its sheer size.
With a lot of our technology we’re in the same situation we were in when we built our first stealth jets. We could build them but the computer tech needed to fly them was still a couple decades off.
