For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods
Reusable rocketry, specifically SpaceX Starship. If it pans out it’s going to completely change our access to space and make many of those old dreams from the 1970s plausible.
RNA vaccines for basically everything, including customized vaccines for cancer. There’s also actual progress happening in general cures for autoimmune diseases.
Is robotics too close to AI? There are multiple companies working on general-purpose humanoid robots intended for mass production with price targets in the ten to twenty thousand dollar range, we may be getting within sight of actual robot butlers.
I just hope we use Starships capabilities to put less single use hardware in Orbit. The way it is build already releases less space junk for delivering payloads, but these payloads need to be build with servicing in mind. Even building them to burn up should not be the solution
Yeah the Starship is a great idea, then Starlink et al is just fast food for space basically.
I’m really not looking forward to the commercialization of low earth orbit, and SpaceX seems to be an accelerator of this.
Looking up at the night sky and seeing a visible stream of dots
