The Future This Week: All About That Outer and Cyberspace

By B.J. Murphy

In The Future This Week, Serious Wonder straps in and blasts off in search of this week’s latest headlines of the future, from the possible discovery of dark matter to the mesmerizing peek into the future of virtual reality gaming…in space!

No matter the problems we may still be in need of fixing here on Earth, each day I’m reminded, time and again, the amazing future that awaits us in both outer and cyberspace exploration. From exploring the cosmos, to exploring its virtual replication, the future consists of dreams and discoveries that are practically unimaginable. Whether we’re colonizing the depths of outer space or creating new worlds of our own in virtual space, space in general appears to be where our species are heading. Welcome to the future!
