Prof Stephen Hawking: man faces nuclear armageddon and must colonise space

19. L5 in '95!

There were science articles about parking spacecraft in the "Lagrange points" surrounding the Earth and Moon. My classmates and I made reports about them in science class. Decades later, techie trekkie types even held "Lagrange fests" to celebrate Lagrange colonization fantasies.

John Glenn's flight and the Apollo program inspired me to go into physics and astronomy, which led to a degree in engineering and a career doing certification paperwork for a manufacturer in Asia. Heck, it's a living!
