Space 2069 : after Apollo: back to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond
Half a century after Apollo 11 we have still not returned to the Moon, but that is about to change. The thirteenth person to walk on the Moon could soon be part of a crew establishing a base on the lip of a crater at the lunar south pole. The discovery of ice in the eternal shadows of the polar regions transforms our ability to live on the Moon. From bases on the Moon we can make the long, lonely and dangerous voyage to Mars, where there is also ice. The obstacles are many, not least the fragilities of the human body. And what type of world would the first Mars explorers find?

The Futurist forecasts 30 years later
Thirty-four of the forecasts made in the February 1967 issue of The Futurist, the first one to be published following the World Future Society's official launching on October 18, 1966, are evaluated. Correct forecasts include: a landing on the moon will be made by 1970: human body organs will be transplanted from one person to another and artificial organs will be used by 1987; and credit cards will virtually eliminate currency by 1986. Incorrect forecasts include: planetary landings will occur by 1980; private passenger vehicles will be barred from most city cores by 1986; and primitive forms of life will be created in the laboratory by 1989.
