"MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS!"2010..A real space odyssey
How close are we to the movie 2010 space odyssey?
lesson no.1: Clarke, "History Lesson"
Evolution of our species on a world just made habitable. Will it be the moon? Or Mars..maybe the small Phoenician noblewoman-Europa discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610... the 6th moon of Jupiter? Will we colonize such places for the betterment of humankind? Before something really bad almost happens as in 2010 a Space Odyssey? Becoming evolutionary energy-based life-forms in the distant future? All these things such as planets and evolving far away but still within touch.
AD 20,001. By this time, the Europans have evolved into a species that has developed a primitive civilization, most likely with assistance from a monolith. They are not described in detail, though they are said to have "tendril"-like limbs. They regard the star Lucifer (formerly the planet Jupiter) as their primary Sun, referring to Sol as "The Cold Sun". Though their settlements are concentrated primarily in the hemisphere of Europa which is constantly bathed in Lucifer's rays, some Europans have begun in recent generations to explore the Farside, the hemisphere facing away from Lucifer, which is still covered in ice. There they may witness the spectacle of night, unknown on the other side of Europa, when the Cold Sun sets.

I doubt Jupiter will become what the above suggests in that ...but it still brings up the questions of peace on Earth and the continuance of humankind elsewhere about this vast cosmos. Perhaps humankind may perish by it's own hand..but hopefully we have moved on to other worlds..looking back on a petty hate filled ridiculous past..that at least got us to where we are.
We are much further in technology than our Government wants to admit...not quite to the timeline of Hollywood Sci Fi movies. but we are well on the road...where wars are fought over water content of a planet or who got there first..one thing will always remain..even in other worlds..war...with peace sporadic...only a wish for the future, Eternal peace.
I hope We at least still look good in the distant future..not..tendril flailing..one eyed...PC addicts!
Will we make contact with something? Divine or Alien? Let's hope so!
Do we have a Hal locked up somewhere? Good chance of it!

One thing is for sure..is that we as the Humankind..shall see the message of peace once and for all...regardless of a divine message. And that we carry out..out there..where you gaze at night by the campfire...let's go..are you ready?
This time..this place..this day...I hope we resolve to do this!
