....with certain caveats.

de grassi implies that the future is equated with technology and forgets that technology is part of the problem. human beings have other kinds of dreams beyond technological ones.

we need as much investment in the arts and in moral and psychological training, which will lead to improvements in the intense interpersonal problems we as a species face.

nasa must also be absolutely non-military and non-corporate (actually, everything should be).
