I was always a huge fan of the Jetsons. The sheer excitement that I received from crashing on the couch with a bowl of Cocoa Puffs and tuning into the Jetsons brought a certain feeling that’s hard to explain. People love the future. We love the future because it represents a certain element of the imagination that can never be tamed. Flying cars, cities in the sky and jetpacks that can propel us to the stars all filled my imagination for the 30 minutes that the show was on. Although the show is no longer in circulation, the concept lives on. For a handful of people in Venus Florida, the concept of how we will live in the future is more tangible to them than most.
Excerpt about the Venus Project
“The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change, one that works towards a peaceful and sustainable global civilization. It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life.
While social reformers and think tanks formulate strategies that treat only superficial symptoms, without touching the basic social operation, The Venus Project approaches these problems somewhat differently. We feel we cannot eliminate these problems within the framework of the present political and monetary establishment. It would take too many years to accomplish any significant change. Most likely they would be watered down and thinned out to such an extent that the changes would be indistinguishable
The Venus Project advocates an alternative vision for a sustainable new world civilization unlike any social system that has gone before. Although this description is highly condensed, it is based upon years of study and experimental research by many, many people from many scientific disciplines.”

We will continue to monitor the progress of these innovative pioneers and if for some reason the ice caps melt faster than projected, we will provide the address to their site so we can at least survive the flood.
