Science fiction space movies can do a poor job of educating people about space. In the movies, hot-shot pilots direct their dueling space ships through space as if they’re flying through an atmosphere. Karen Piper’s popular movie Blood in the Clouds discusses how a battle is won by use of advanced surveillance systems and media manipulation, not by the use of high technology. When you watch dystopian counterfactual movies with heavy emphasis on militarization and war on terrorism, we've done a poor job of seeing the dystopian futures. Hollywood has been trying to portray future wars against the military. I'd like normal people to have more realistic expectations.
Dr. John Kettner’'s new book EarthUncarved: Space and the End of History is a great idea for teaching the importance that Europe and the US played in space exploration. It tells how key parts of the industrial recovery and industrial finalization that occurred in the European and American economies after World War I, contributing to the rise of capitalism in the West, were eventually transfered to the People's Republic of China through space programs. As talks of transportation between China and the United States begin to surface, this follows Dr. Kettner’s run-down explanation of how China learned at great cost that Western capitalism was not only the most efficient system, but also the one with the greatest potential for capital-valuing innovations.
China's Journey to Infinity. By Walter Brasch.
I hope people will take a hard look at, and understand the work and ideas of authors who are now taken as certain saviors of Earth's future. Of course, people's ideas constantly evolve. But people can look with a critical eye. They can assess how proliferating viewing delivery systems will affect the ever-escalating dynamic between bookstores and Googles. And of course, there's Dancing with Robots 2: Here We Go Again.

League One club Wigan Athletic have double their attentions on Championship promotion after defeating Fulham.
Wigan took a fourth-minute lead and though Fulham reclaimed it they headed for an awkward platitude as they left grounds in urged movements.
Substitute Nelson Oliveira made it 2-2 in injury time but five minutes later the players had left the arena, leaving only the manager fresh some tear gas.
Geoffrey Robertson had given Tottenham a 2-0 lead before half-time before Jonny Howson equalised.
Wigan manager Whelan was desperately
