2000-2100 Manifest Destiny

The youth of the 2,000's were arguably not privy to the excitement held by those birthed in the 1900's through the 1970's. Those years were a turmoil of grand leaders in conflict. It was the story of industrialization, wars, and the birth of the computer. It was a step on the moon.

The successful kids of the 2020's held classical educations of the epic prior century but it was anti climactic. There was no shortage of problems to solve. The business of moving information via bits and bytes was the rail road industry to new money. Online records and logs of these events was simply a byproduct of a new and fun thing; not fully realized by the current population as having an immeasurable historical significance.

By 2050, global initiatives had shifted into respectability. Green business and countries were counted in. To be counted out was a future of misery and irrelevance. Energy was widely seen as an unlimited resource. The position against it was indefensible and this was to become a standard of broad education. It opened the market of clean energy hardware. The companies who met the shift survived. These were energy brats. The ceos were children who'd accepted the losses that burdened their fathers, but invested in a new brand of thought that did not seek to sell energy but freedomize it... or rather sell us the hardware.

Private industry had a viable presence in orbital space. Large shuttle launches were archaic but looked back upon as heroic and necessary. The writers of the day payed tribute and respect to the early heros of space-flight. To view the earth from a point of zero gravity was like taking a cruise in the Mediterranean. Aerospace in the 2080's was not the aerospace of 2010. It was a cord struck by the entertainment industry. It was a cultural meeting of the minds by the children of new energy, those who'd idolized the movies of the 2030's. The visionaries in the industry of the 2090's were a part of (and wanted to be a part of) what the movies of the 2030's had supposed to be the natural course; a kind of solar system "Manifest Destiny"
