@quinn There's an episode of Max Headroom that takes place during the Sky Clearance Festival, a regular holiday where the TV networks de-orbit their old satellites and people party in the streets under special umbrellas to protect them from the shower of debris.
When I was a kid, that seemed like an impossible future.
When I was a young adult, that seemed like the dumbest idea I'd ever heard.
Now, I fully expect the first one next year.
Of all the futures, we live in Max Headroom and Robocop.
