Although 2010 didn’t suddenly become the Future that Never Happened, it did however do a lot better than 1999 and 2001. In-fact the picture above of the International Space Station’s new observatory module (Cupola) goes a long way to help full-fill some of those old prophecy’s.
Other 2010 notable – science fiction realised highlights include: Moonbase Antarctica (see below), Scientists discovering new life on earth? the first working flying saucer, Microsoft’s Kinect making Minority Report CPU control a commercial reality – Nintendo style:( Apple’s perfect sci-fi future gadget the iPad and this roof-top lawn in New York (below.)
Here’s hoping by 2015 my studio will look more like this guys office at around 2:45 – or even the place below.
I’ll let Space play us out….
Happy Life Day.

If you have never seen the Star Wars Christmas Special – don’t bother it’s awful, though it is bizarre and well worth a skim through. Especially Part 4 – around 6 minutes in where Chewbacca’s dad – Itchy is given a ‘Happy Life day’ present. It is explained to him simply as “Wow” but is probably best described as a sexy virtual woman!
Anyway whatever you do just don’t listen to the Happy Life Day song.
Present after the break…
