“You know what’s frustrating about science comics? They put forth all these fantastic ideas, yet I still don’t have the shit I’d like to have from science. I think my requests are pretty humble and reasonable.
1. A Sleeping Pill That Works
Non-Habit-forming, timed out perfectly, and it doesn’t put you into that Nyquil fog sleep or passed out drunk kind of sleep. It’s exactly like real human sleep, but beginning and ending the moment I decide.
2. Robots
Where are the robots? Seriously. Not nearly enough robots around, and the ones that are around don’t look like weird skeletons and shit. They’re just a welding tool on an articulated arm. No. Not good enough, science. At the very least, I’d like those little rectangular robot mice things that were always scooting around the Death Star. Even if they don’t do anything, just for the sake of getting more robots in my life.
3. Space Tourism
Theme parks on the moon. This is a classic sci-fi trope, and we can’t do it? How come I can’t stay in a hotel on the moon where I get a Travelocity deal and find out there’s no view of Earth but instead an alley? I should be able to do that in space just the way I do on Earth.
4. Shit That Hovers
I don’t care what it is, the hover version is cooler.
