    I’m so old I remember using an ancient encyclopedia to research space for a school project, where it had illustrations about what they thought colonies on Mars would look like in 1985.

      it had illustrations about what they thought colonies on Mars would look like in 1985.

      Interesting that it didn’t predict them for the year 2000 like the flying autonomous cars in my uncles book from the 70s.

      As a fellow old that sounds familiar. Though the details of my parents Encyclopedia Britannica collection are lost to the mists of time.
