A Prediction of the 2020 Olympics
The year 2020 has come and gone. Instead of living in a space colony and having the Olympics on the moon, the entire world was panicking as we fell into a global pandemic. But back in 1979, a book called The Usborne Book of the Future: A Trip in Time to the Year 2000 and Beyond predicted we would have the Olympics in space. The illustrations include some hilarious concepts, like the Olympic torch being protected by a glass globe. There is also an event called “The Lunar high jump”, which is 14 meters in the air. We also see a drone camera flying around with the words “World News” written on the side. A future like this may never come to pass, because of how outrageously expensive a space colony on the moon would be.
