The Future
In the future,
We won't need to travel in spacesuits to Mars, anyway. We won't have Google Earth, we will have Google Pluto, Google Nexus Nine, Google Dimension X.
We will send our machines to Neptune to scan the surface the same way we scan the surface of Earth, pinpointing the geography of far away alien worlds in a high degree of detail.
While we eat popcorn back home.
We will use those scans to create virtual worlds that you will access with google goggles for googely eyed views of worlds you cannot touch, but you will be able to feel.
Those virtual reality worlds will mimic the real one, far far away. Avatars will go for us, sending back and forth signals, and through the virtual reality, we will see what the avatar sees.
And we will be able to direct it's movements, and it will perform for us on alien worlds.
While we eat popcorn back home.
More Human Than A Human
Entire universes are in our grasp. Virtual Reality will be the next step in exploration, because through virtual reality, we will be able to enter any space we can scan and turn into a virtual world. And through robotics and physical technologies, we will be able to interact with wherever we are able to scan.
Human evolution did not end with us acquiring opposable thumbs. Many will be keeping up with the Kardashians. A few will be climbing the bell curve, one inch at a time.
Don't be left behind.
The Journey Continues.

I am creating the movie: TheFCStartMovie.com, and my team has recently got me interested in what we will also be able to do with VR. Stay tuned...
