Some of us still look up at the stars and see a place for us. Not for the amusement of the few. Not for profits.

For us. ALL of us.

Don't cede imagination & hope itself to the billionaire class. Like everything else, it never belonged to them.

Something more positive, between all the doom and gloom of this year.

Because if we don't appreciate the efforts that are there to improve the situation, we are doomed from the start.

the graphics in velocidrone is almost N64 level chunky, which is kind of charming
A screenshot from the quadcopter simulation game velocidrone, showing a polygonal, low-poly landscape. The foreground features a field of colorful lupine flowers - predominantly purple and pink - set against green foliage. Behind this floral foreground, the terrain ascends into rocky hillsides, covered with patches of snow and interspersed with various evergreen trees. In the distance, there are larger, snow-capped mountains under a pale blue sky dotted with abstract, cloud-like shapes. Overlaying the scene are elements of an on-screen display.
