December 1, 2014 by V the K

A short film about the future we have passed up in favor of spending a trillion dollars a year for EBT cards and Obamaphones for the #Ferguson “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” crowd.

Wanderers is a vision of humanity’s expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available.

    I weep…
    I howl…
    THIS was the future WE were promised in our childhoods reading Clarke, Asimov and Bova. The worlds of Saberhagen and Bester. The fevered martial-dreams of Niven, Pournelle and Bujold…

    Instead we have a small world of false-entitlement, hypocrisy and petty-politicians with no dreams at-all. Impoverished of goals, parochial in vision…

    It was to be in our generation and our children’s…
    Betrayed…
