Hi folks,
I have started this topic as a place for some of the ideas of futurists (and similar) such as:
Jacque Fresco - The Venus Project (http://www.thevenusproject.com/) (especially check out the transport section)
Marshall Savage - The Millennial Project (http://tmp2.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page#zoom)
regards,
Greg

Fresco did some nice stuff but his 1950s / '60s styling hasn't kept up. He later rejected all Space-Colonisation theories, realising that Earth is an organic "space-station". (thus taking down his forums which had been swamped by Trekkie-geeks).
Unlike others, he hasn't yet realised that he needs to actually build a village that works (not make a movie) before his ideas take off. Others have started.
Can you post some pics from that Millenial Project ? My computer doesn't like the website.
For a Future-Village that is currently under construction see http://co-opvillagefoundation.org/ (http://co-opvillagefoundation.org/)
It's located near Pensacola, Florida & has over 500 workers / residents-in-waiting. I've had some input into its design.

I live on an organic space-station in orbit around Sol. Unfortunately it's being destroyed by a parasite called Western Society.
I travel through Time .... but only at the rate of one second / per second.
