Its human nature to fantasize about the future and predict what life might be like in the future. Over the past eight decades, there have been many wild and outlandish predictions.  Some scientists believe the sunis getting brighter right at this moment and it will eventually explode, in about a billion years.  Other scientists believe the black hole close to earth will suck us up.

**A COST-EFFECTIVE FUTURE. **   The last mission to the moon flew in 1972. Since that time, no human has left earth orbit. The Space Age that seemed to be getting off to such a flying start in the 1960s seems to have fizzled out. Why should this be?  It is extraordinarily expensive to put a payload into space. Every time the space shuttle in launched, it costs approximately US $I Billion. In the 1960s, the US government spent 4 per cent of the national budget every year for ten years putting people on the moon.  <span style="color: #c0504d; font-family: 'Candara','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-themecolor: accent2;">The main reason for spending such colossal sums of money was propaganda. Until the beginning of the 1990s, when the cold war between the USA and the former USSR ended, each country had been determined to outdo one another in the space race. Now, rocket engineers are more concerned with efficiency than with making headlines.
