Under The Sun

I look forward to when we begin interplanetary colonization. The first colonists would probably leave Earth with no plans of returning. They would enter an unnatural environment much like that on today’s submarines. Imagine living the rest of your life on a submarine! And raising a family!

I suspect they would find escape and socialization by means of virtual worlds. They could visit San Francisco and meet old friends for coffee. They could scuba dive or go hang gliding. They could revive their spirits basking in Earth’s comforting slendor.
