Voyage to Other Spheres, 1783
A project of a Voyage to Other Spheres fostered by M. de Saint-Just. It is a huge ship with astronomical instruments for studying the solar system. The future and the concept of eternity have been major subjects of philosophy, religion, and science, and defining them non-controversially has consistently eluded the greatest of minds. Future studies, or futurology, is the science, art and practice of postulating possible futures. Futurists had passionate loathing of ideas from the past, especially political and artistic traditions. Instead, they espoused a love of speed and technology
