A look at the history of the future....
David E. Powell
The late 1980s-early 1990s predictions for an internet and information
era are pretty darn cool and a real kick to see.
Also the US Air Force's 1963 take on Space dogfighting (which may yet
happen, BTW.)

No they didn't.

I read this blog regularly - it's really entertaining. *
P.S. Nice try on the newsgroups list there, sparky.

How so? Spherical, maybe because the gas didn't keep expanding?

The persistent hot 'core', that the gas didn't keep expanding.

Cool, thanks.
Note that checking the calendar at
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/9714/zeller.htm
shows it to in fact be a 1901 calendar; the blog guys screwed up the
year.
In 1901, the media knew when the new century started. It was only 100
years later that they'd become so brain petrified that they got it wrong.

Read the text - they said the original picture was published on December
28th, 1900.

In point of fact, the turn of the century has been celebrated both ways.
It's not one or the other - the correct answer is BOTH. *

Untrue, but believe what you want.
