Kinda funny how that image was supposed to be dystopian and these days it almost makes me feel hopeful. They fucked it all up, but at least they got their shit toegther at some point to build new infrastructure and housing and invent flying cars and so on

I think it was supposed to be a flawed utopia, I can't find it now, but I think POS Luc Besson or someone else said that the backstory was that Earth was in a cold war, and then they discovered space travel and peace came to Earth and a large part of the universe. I guess racism and other things were solved thanks to space travel, lol.
