Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
Construction of the city of Nüwa could start in 2054 and will see 250,000 people live inside the rock of a steep cliff. Freeze my body, melt me in 80 years, and send me to Mars. Architecture studio ABIBOO has revealed its plans to create the first self-sustainable city on the Red Planet, which is set to be ready for residents in 2100. The city will be called Nüwa and will be located at Tempe Mensa on one of the Martian cliffs. Its position inside a rock on the steep cliff will protect its residents from radiation and meteorites (cool!) while still giving them

Lepší svet
Lepší svet
I imagine 2025 as follows. People will no longer eat in the normal way. Food will be replaced by pills or liquid food. Cars and other means of transport will cease to exist - their replacement will be a teleportation system that can teleport a person anywhere. It will work just like navigation. Overall, there will be less crime in the world to prevent evil. Death has a completely different meaning. In 2040, one can pay for the “extension of life.” by letting oneself be frozen.

Better and more accessible healthcare for everyone. By gout to restore diseased parts in both humans and animals and plants. Restoring the forest and increasing the diversity of species. Criminal liability since the age of 15. In congregation support for reading books and writing. Stricter hygiene checks on the quality of food and other products. Reduce working hours to 6 hours per day. Abolition of money as a means of payment.

In 2040, I imagine peace and tranquillity in the world. It was unrealistic, ?. I believe that our planet will still exist and on it our picturesque Slovakia will remain Slovak and on the map not only in the history textbook, so that our children will perceive it only as a memory of the history of their parents. I very much wish our future generations to experience what we have had the opportunity to experience - freedom and nature as it is.

I wish that we had a healthy environment, that we were financially procured, that there was healthy food and peace in the world. I also want to make housing more accessible and to have more children, as the situation here is velminst. I also see the turmoil that year.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a major revolution in clean energy production thanks to fusion reactors. Electricity is now available all over the world and, at the same time, the plundering of nature for coal mining has stopped. In 2035, the last dictatorships of the world, such as China, Russia or the DPRK, fell, and since then all the money that has been spent on the armaments industry can be invested in science, research, education, nature protection and help the socially weaker people. Thanks to education, people began to live healthier lives and unhealthy food naturally disappeared from shops. In domestic and international politics, it is already normal to respect a different opinion and discuss politely with your opponents, instead of quarrels and insults. The world has finally recovered and is also thinking about what will be after us and what planet we will leave to our descendants.

A very interesting topic was chemtralis I hope that in the near future this topic will no longer occur and the people responsible for this genocide will be punished, I firmly believe that free energy will be available and strong corporations building on oil and gas wealth will disappear. There are many unexplained mysteries, so I believe that humanity will be acquainted with our true history.I believe that the length of life will extend and indeed man will land on some other planet besides the Earth.I am only very afraid of the enormous development of artificial intelligence,which will put man on the so-called kind of track.

the best would be a future where both men and women are in power, equal to 50/50, because with the current government there are the same wars, and then they wouldn't have to be. I don't care if they pity the car or not, I just want peace and quiet.
Nádej na lepší život vďaka umelej inteligencii.
Nádej na lepší život vďaka umelej inteligencii.
In the year 2040, the world has completely changed after all sectors have been dominated by artificial intelligence, which is already used in hospitals to diagnose various diagnoses, or in the field of science, where it helps to discover and accelerate the process of science. Several planets have been found suitable for life, thanks only to artificial intelligence. It is also used in the world of finance and so on.
Nowa Europa

2040 - there is no smog in the air, there are no illegal immigrants on the streets and it is safe. The climate has stopped warming and we have normal winters with snow. Medical care is at such a level that we already have a cure for cancer. No new coronaviruses have emerged for many years and people are living longer. In Ukraine there was peace, the eastern part was incorporated into Russia and the remaining part was admitted to the European Union and NATO troops are stationed on its territory. The Lviv region was incorporated into Poland and exhumations and burials of thousands of Poles killed by Ukrainians 100 years ago began there. In Poland, three nuclear power plants were built and as a result, coal-fired power plants were shut down and coal mines reduced. The UK once again became a member of the European Union and free elections were held in Belarus. On the ground landed a spaceship with cosmonauts who two years earlier landed on Mars.

A better future depends on cooperation between individuals, communities and governments who focus on sustainability, education and innovation. Investing in renewable energy sources, promoting equity and inclusion, and mental health care are key. Each of us has the power to contribute to positive change, whether through small steps or larger initiatives. Together, we can build a world that is fairer, healthier and full of opportunities. So it's kind of my point of view
Rovnocennosť
Rovnocennosť
Lots of trees and nature, fewer cars and harmful substances for humanity. People would treat each other as equals. No racism and alienation from others. A better financial time. No one would have to think about money and count every penny for bread. Children can study for free.

I would like people to have more time for themselves and for other people in the future; so that life does not run at such an insane pace; so that the work takes half a day, not the whole day and at the same time gives such earnings to live pleasantly and safely. I would like to live safely, not afraid of whether I can afford to maintain the apartment. I would like people to respect each other, to respect the environment, the Earth and animals; so that we have something to breathe, clean forests, rivers, lakes. I wish a cure for cancer could be found.
