      That’s what you took from it? I took the developing space colonies on Saturn, whatever miracle space engine development they got that allows them to get to Titan in One year, whatever security measures they have that allows them to get into orbit without any kind of spacesuit, the wholesale pervasive electric cars, implied sexual dysmorphism cures, the retro noir aesthetic, the possibility of having kids with the best chances at not having congenital diseases and the main character sheer determination on pursuit of his dreams and his sheer disregard for the security of the people depending on him while suffering from a congenital cardiac issue.

      What a legend
