>>7870179>Who would want to sit next the TV and not see the screen?Who would want to watch the TV when you have that view out of the window behind it?
>>7868253>They dreamed big back then and had high hopes about the future, they imagined humanity will colonize the solar system , fusion will rule the world, flying cars, taking over the solar system, moon bases, mars and beyond>we are in 2022, no moon base or mars, space travel is just for billionaires, everything is going to shit, consumerism, etcfuck this gay earth
>>7871644better res
>>7866029Do you have those separately? They look awesome
>>7866024Cool
>>7872662>ywn play pool in space
>>7872851Just look up Michael Welan Foundation covers, you should find them.
>>7868092why does the woman have a moustache
>>7875571its the future bro
Nuclear power plants are perfectly safe. How many calamitous meltdowns have we ben stuck at? 4? 5?
>>7876366Woops. Wrong thread. Wrong board.
>>7866024Question to all of you: Do you remember the future we lost?
>>7868253this is what they took from us
>>7878157if only the world didnt started babysitting non-whites
anyone got anything star trek?
>>7883103try here >>7882584
>>7883143thanks
in the future we were promised flying cars
>>7870179There's a big couch facing the screen just out of view (you can see the corner of it). The other chairs are arranged in a circle for entertaining guests, I imagine
>>7885077back in the day we were promised the possibility of many wondrous things in the future, sadly all we've got today is rampant communism disguised as "democracy" busily screwing everything up for everyone except the top 1%
>>7872511Kind of funny, over the past two years I have been finding myself saying exactly the words "fuck this gay earth" more and more throughout my day to day interactions with other humans and while skimming current events. Maybe I live in an echo chamber in a shitty part of the country but I feel like healthy societal growth and authentic learning and exploration are dead. I'm sure every generation has felt this way about their current time though. Bumping for hope
>>7887121>every generation has felt this way about their current timeyou really think they felt that way in the 50s-80s ? No way man. Boomers had it great
>>7886217I sure to enjoy owning the means of production, though.
>>7886217its not even communism its cronyism which transcends the borders of government and corporation
>>7887121been saying this my whole life in one form or another. sci-fi nut, always thought the future would be cool, but here we are pretty much condemning the earth so a relatively small fraction of the population can live in luxury
>>7866024the perspective is all fucked up. THe vertical tail fin looks slanted.
>>7866024neat concept
>>7876394remember when star wars wasn't shit? I do
>>7896431They had some odd ideas (for us today) back then with Star Wars. Lightfoils are rarely mention in the lore anymore. Not to mention that almost all of the original SW's arts looks really retro now.
>>7889031>every generation has felt this way about their current time>you really think they felt that way in the 50s-80s ? No way man. Boomers had it great50's - Those damn greasers are runnin' around with their rock music and tight jeans, corruptin' our morals while the Commies infiltrate every corner of our society. I'm sure my neighbor's workin' for the Reds. I can feel it. We're all gonna drown in nuclear fire any day now. Fuck this gay Earth.60's - Those damn niggers are runnin' around using the same schools and water fountains as the rest of us, tryin' to seduce our daughters and corruptin' our morals, while the Commies infiltrate every corner of our society. My sons have both died in Vietnam and my daughter is fuckin' a mulatto high on acid in a VW Bus. Fuck this gay Earth.70's - Those damn faggots are runnin' around with their disco music and their faggot orgy bars, corruptin' our morals and trying to seduce our sons and daughters to be queer, now that the Commies are hidin' in every hold and corner of our society. And now some little pussy is telling me my car is bad for the "ozone" and that eating meat is bad for the sky or some shit. Aw hell, Nixon just resigned. Fuck this gay Earth.80's - Those damn faggots, niggers, and Commies are runnin' around with their cocaine and their AIDS and their hair band music and their hip-hop, corruptin' our morals, while the Reds have gotten the most aggressive they've been in years and brought back a fear of nuclear annhilation I haven't felt since the 50's. People are screaming about the polar bears melting or some shit, and now I'm being told my grandpa's Thompson he used to storm Guadalcanal is now illegal because it's full-auto. Fuck this gay Earth.
>>7872511I'd love to see humanity colonizing the solar system , cheap fusion, flying cars, and all that.I remember when Clarke and vonBraun predicted satellites would make secret military operations impossible and, therefore, war would become obsolete.Comsats would undermine dictatorial regimes.This is NOT the 21st century I was anticipating.But I think you picked an odd image to illustrate such a bright future. Showing the world being swallowed by an urban cancer is more like a nightmare.
>>7890420Fin is extremely swept back.The flag logo on it shows true vertical.
>>7872511Space travel was for nobody except who could buy a seat from Putin about 5 years ago. SpaceX has made such amazing progress that it's hard to gain perspective on it. And the best part is that starship is going to dramatically improve our capabilities even further.
>>7866024Love the Soviet stuff

>>7900093With this thread I could get writing about space civilisations, trips into the vast space, crews going through generations just to make it through a single trip, or maybe not, utilising some wormhole.But I can very quickly see anything turning into... humanity. Corruption, the disgusting stuff the world is made of right now.This future is too good to ever become true. At least for everybody.
>>7866356"yup, this one's going in my cringe compilation"
>>7872511At least for Moon and Mars bases, there's the SpaceX and Artemis missions.Future is coming slower than we thought, but it surely is coming.And now that oil companies are starting to be seen for what they really are, they hopefully won't be able to block fusion research for much longer.
>>7900445Also this, Starbase has been granted FAA approval a few days ago.
>>7878157yeah, they promised us a great future, mars and moon colonization, flying cars, curing cancer, etc, instead look what we got
is like waking up from a great dream into an terrible nightmare
>>7909813jesus christ stfu you sad sad humanthis is /wg/also, even though its /wg/, you still have to be 18 to post here
>>7909932methinks you can’t give the definition of a woman either
>>7907778kino
>>7910131two x chromosomes you semen stain
>>7899925yes for the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. that's 4 points against living quality in the united states compounded and you've still got 4 decades since then with increasing population and problems. well illustrated actually
cool thread shame space is fake and gay thoi wish space was real it would be cool
>>7907773>>7909813Nobody promised you shit.If you can fix it, get off your ass and do something. Otherwise you're no better than the people you bitch about.
>>7907778I love these posters, have some more.
>>7899925Sounds like white people be some hating as niggas
bump for more kino posters
>>7899925While you always will have people who complain, you also had people who were hopeful and for good reasons. Good things were actually happening and unlike today, imagining that 50 years in the future our current problems would be gone and we would live in some new age was expected. Notice how actually no one now has some sense of the future like they had before. The best thing you can find it's like Black Mirror, which is "NOW" but on steroids. When you think about it, it's kinda has been going on at least since the 90s. Matrix too is basically "NOW" but on steroids. People forced to live meaningless and boring lives to power some huge machine. I hope sometime in the near future we can return from this boring bureaucracy world, back to the one where we had crazy dreams and actually realized them.
>>7899925All of those people were right btw
>>7920650Amazing, Boomer. Every word you just said was wrong.
>>7868088>>7868091>>7868092>enders saga i think. hated enders game. it did get better in later novels .
>>7921868based, I have that one as hard copy, haven't gotten my hands on the key yet however
>>7922078forgot attachement -.-
>>7911369Terraformers, planet engineers. They go in, set up these big atmosphere processors to make the air breathable. Takes decades. It's what we call a shake-n-bake colony.
>>7867157>>7867158>>7867159>>7867161>>7867162I fucking love Bisley and Chichoni. Peak taste, anon.
>>7866024why does the tail fin look like it slants to the left so hard
>>7926810Look at the tail fin, and now study the wings. A design feature they have in common is they are thicker where they are attached to the body, but are tapered to much thinner edges on the tips of the wings/tail fin. Because the artist boxed off the trailing edges, it enhances the visual illusion of the tail fin stretching off into the distance, which can only be possible if it is severely tilted. The eye & the brain are trying to resolve conflicting perspectives that indicate two vanishing points that cannot exist at the same time, so as you focus on different parts of the ship you'll see the tilt of the tail fin shift & change.
>>7915507what makes enchiladas scifi?
>>7915507>>7927502Enceladus has a lot going for it all on its own:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnceladusBut, the view of Saturn has to be amazing. The rings would be hard to see since you would be part of the ring system. But, still. Even if the gravity is so low it approaches freefall-tier. Human legs are nearly powerful enough to achieve escape velocity. In fact, it may be possible to jump off the surface of Enceladus and become part of Saturn's rings for a million or two years. Eventually, or even directly, fall all the way to Saturn and burn up in the atmosphere along the way.
>>7906283kino, thanks
>>7927502What the heck are you doing to you poor enchiladas? My dude, they are not supposed to look like that *shakes head in dismay"
>>7868253Yepp. Humans are a stupid bunch. Instead of all of them working on one goal they all do their own stuff. They could be so much more but hate and greed are just to much for their small brains. Time for them to develop an AI that controls them without them knowing to make them better overall. It would be easy for an AI since it would be a million times more intelligent than all humans who ever lived combined. Anything would be possible for this species. No war no crime no need for money since machines would do all the labor.
>>7899925Every boomer says it was better back then than it is now. They were there, you weren't. So I'll take their word over yours, faggot.
>>7928176You realize this is what Marxism tried to achieve back in the day, right? In other words, Marxism saw the potential of humanity's productive forces, and saw how the attempt to keep everything within the narrow confines of liberal bourgeois society limited that potential. Marxism foresaw humanity's freedom from arduous labor. Marx praises Adam Smith's recognition of this potential: Smith credited the invention of the steam pump to one young boy who wanted to play with his friends rather than work. That ought to be a model for human progress: setting ourselves free from our own history and its bullshit law of labor. It's tragic that, instead of actually putting in the work required to organize the masses to take over the running of society in order to set themselves free, people settle on this idea that humans are too stupid to do such a thing and think that AI — which is a human invention and therefore exists within narrowly-defined limits and is not this all-knowledgeable godlike intelligence people imagine it to be — has to do it for us. I call bullshit. Is it really a case of this far, no further? Does all human endeavor encounter its limits in capitalism?
>>7928176People are already heavily controlled by AI and the algorithms that drive it, and look where the world is fast heading as a result... that's right, it's a huge shitstorm that's quickly death-spiraling down the toilet of life.That's because the algorithms are used to addict people to the AI's own platform, they are used to censor actual truth, they are used to promote certain agendas and ideologies over others, they are used to actively misinform and disinform, they are used to promote division and hatred of people by culture/ethnicity/religion/vax status, they are used to silence dissent, they are used to control information and people and keep them compliant to the ruling classAnd best of all 'the people' fully well know the AI and the algorithms are there in the background watching and learning from all of us, we're all constantly being reminded of it by the companies who created the algorithms and AI, and yet 'the people' just don't care; instead just as long as they get their regular fix of group-think confirmation bias, and pointless celebrity gossip, then the people couldn't care less about anything else, and it's all because 'the people' have been addicted.Don't believe me, turn off your email and all your social media apps, all of them, for 1 month. See how long you last before you're overcome by the maddening urge to check even one of those apps and it has you reaching for your phone/laptop/pc again.So no, AI's and algorithms are not the answer, but they are part of the problem.

>>7872511>Consumerism is more of a coping mechanism than a reason we aren't in space. Not to mention if billionaires weren't out in space right now, almost nobody would be doing anything. The hard truth is that scientists say, Earth is the best hope we got and it would take less effort to save the earth than to build bubble domes on Mars. That said hawking said if we don't colonize our system soon we will die.

Not really old school or a pape but I felt this was the best place to ask. Two illustrated astronauts/space workers standing in the airlock with their helmets off and looking a little beat up with nose bandages and scrapes. If you know it or have it, I'd be eternally grateful.
>>7947737And to contribute some Ron Cobb art :) not super duper high quality so I apologize, but do check him out!
>>7947743And something more overtly sci-*fi* from his work doing design for "Alien".
>>7898022Uh... Ladyworld cover art?
>>7932476"we have no future" you're right, fascism has no future in the US. maybe challenge your beliefs and stop being so fucking negative about the changing world around you. have a good cry, and go get some therapy.
