We grew up at the Space Shuttle end of the space race and we were promised jet packs not later than the dawn of the 21st century. We were also promised cool geodesic housing, infinite cheap energy, world peace, a clean planet, and water beds.2023-12-10 17:35:00https://www.charliehustonwrites.com/signs/man-i-just-work-here-on-december-10th-2023I don't even know why I'm trying to write something for this space right now.
