Do you really believe that mankind in the future with all the technology advances accumulating is NEVER going to venture out beyond Earth? You really believe that? Are you serious?
The first powered airplane flight was only around 120 years ago and it was seen as pure magic in the faces of awed (and previously doubting) spectators. What we think of as pure magic in 2021 will be common in 2141.
Man, can you believe that, after his ban from using twitter, @real_Trump has joined this PDF forum disguised behind a bogus sock puppet's name!
Opinion: Trump seems to believe in magic over science

President Trump doesn’t think Americans should put much stock in scientific consensus. He prefers to sprinkle our most intractable and urgent problems with pixie dust and promises that — presto! — they will simply vanish.
The latest example of Trump’s magical thinking came Monday, when the president dismissed a suggestion that the dozens of fires raging across the West could be related to human-caused climate change.
Although 2020 is on track to be one of the hottest years on record, the president told state and local officials in McClellan Park, Calif., that “it will start getting cooler. You just watch.”
Wade Crowfoot, California’s secretary for natural resources, objected: “I wish science agreed with you.”
“Well, I don’t think science knows, actually,” Trump replied.
Sound familiar? This is the same president who has insisted — repeatedly — that the novel coronavirus would simply “go away.”
“It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear,” he said in February, when U.S. coronavirus cases still numbered in the dozens.
