Fair enough, but in my estimation that next big thing is gene therapy, and the best way to get involved with it is to become a medical geneticist.
I'm sorry to be a buzzkill, but I just can't get excited about privately-funded space rockets or Japanese girlfriend robots, not even if there were an 8 figure stock compensation package in it for me. To me, it's all just "do something grandiose for the venture capitalist bucks, and then maybe figure out how it helps people in 20 years."
"My sister killed her baby because she couldn't afford it and we're sending people to the moon.
September, my cousin tried reefer for the very first time.
Now he's doing horse. It's June.
Is it silly, no? When a rocket ship explodes
And everyone still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't happy truly
Til he truly dies
Huh? Computers were privately funded and you could have called them pornography machines if you wanted to be dismissive of the technology. I understand you're not excited by those technologies but no need to mischaracterize them. I'm not excited about curing cancer because it's just not something I think about much, but I still recognize it's a good thing, even if some big-pharma company ends up owning all the IP and overcharging for it.
