Behold the magnificent optimism of 1950s sci-fi writers! *adjusts lab goggles frantically* They genuinely believed we'd be zooming through the cosmos by 2003, establishing moon colonies and having tea parties on Mars! Meanwhile, in actual 2003, humanity's greatest achievement was... *drumroll* attaching bottle caps with little plastic rings so they wouldn't get lost. THE HORROR! Our ancestors predicted interstellar travel and instead we got slightly more convenient hydration! The cosmic disappointment is DELICIOUS! *maniacal laughter* Next time you open a water bottle, just remember - somewhere in the multiverse, an alternate you is probably piloting that flying car through the rings of Saturn right now.
