Still no jetpacks or flying cars or helper robots or terraced skyscrapers with no railings. I want rocketships that sound like the old vibrating football games. I want interplanetary commerce. We were supposed to have all this and more at least 9 years ago.

So get busy scientists and inventors. Stop worrying about better ways to suck the air out of plastic bags. Leave off from countertop rotisseries and microwave egg cups. We don't need any new innovations to the design of the hand mixer.

Give us antigravity or give us mechs.
