SOME TITLE
Dreaming of space-flight, and predicting its future, have always
been favorite pastimes of science fiction. In my first science
column for F&SF, I can't resist the urge to contribute a bit to
this grand tradition.
A science-fiction writer in 1991 has a profound advantage over
the genre's pioneers. Nowadays, space-exploration has a past as
well as a future. "The conquest of space" can be judged today,
not just by dreams, but by a real-life track record.
and some more tweakings after that with sed, ...

Q: What's the difference between an iphone and a freerunner?
A: One works but takes away your freedom, the other is free but needs your work.
