Arthur C. Clarke first suggested using satellites for communication in 1945, though it may have seemed outlandish at the time. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first satellite, demonstrating the viability of satellite technology. In 1962, the US launched Telstar, allowing live television broadcasts between the US and Europe, including coverage of John F. Kennedy's funeral. This inaugurated an era of global communication via satellite.
What nuclear energy means for africa and latin america
For many in Africa and Latin America, nuclear energy is seen as something that only wealthy countries can achieve and is associated with destruction. While nuclear energy could provide a cheaper source of power for over a billion people struggling with high costs of living, developing countries may lack the expertise in safety and regulation required. Alternative energy sources like wind and geothermal are being investigated that could reduce costs even further than nuclear power. However, rising energy prices due to factors like privatization continue to drive governments to seek out nuclear power as an option to power their countries and address public health issues caused by a lack of affordable energy access.

Tolpuddle Martyrs
In 1834, six farm laborers in Tolpuddle, England were arrested and sentenced to seven years transportation to Australia for forming a trade union to defend their livelihoods and improve their poor working conditions. Their harsh sentences sparked widespread outrage and protest from the growing trade union movement. Though the Tolpuddle Martyrs endured terrible conditions while imprisoned and in transportation, public pressure led to their pardons years later. The episode was an important event in the struggle for workers' rights in Britain.

Micro-Energy: The Next Frontier
The document discusses the future of non-fossil liquid fuels and proposes an alternative approach of producing fuels like butanol through bacterial synthesis. It notes that while oil, gas and coal currently meet global energy demand, these are finite resources. The proposal suggests engineering bacteria to produce liquid fuels like butanol from glucose through fermentation as a renewable and distributed alternative. This could potentially lead to an "energy agnostic global economy" by providing a scalable and replicable process for domestic production of liquid fuels without relying on fossil fuels or large centralized energy systems.

Predictions that came true
- 1. Ten 100-year old predictions that came true
- 2. John Watkins began the article ”What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years.” with the words: "These prophecies will seem strange, almost impossible," explaining that he had consulted the country's "greatest institutions of science and learning" for their opinions on 29 topics. John Watkins predicted Americans would be taller, tanks would exist and C, X and Q would no longer feature in our everyday alphabet.
- 3. 10 predictions that Watkins got right... 1. Digital colour photography "Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there be a battle in China a 100 years hence, snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later...photographs will reproduce all of nature's colours." 2. The rising height of Americans "Americans will be taller by from one to two inches."
- 4. 3. Mobile phones "Wireless telephone and telegraph circuits will span the world. A husband in the middle of the Atlantic will be able to converse with his wife sitting in Chile.” 4. Pre-prepared meals "Ready-cooked meals will be bought from establishment similar to our bakeries of today."
- 5. 5. Slowing population growth "There will probably be from 350,000,000 to 500,000,000 people in America [the US]." 6. Hothouse vegetables Winter will be turned into summer and night into day by the farmer, said Watkins, with electric wires under the soil and large gardens under glass.
- 6. 7. Television "Man will see around the world. Persons and things of all kinds will be brought with in focus of cameras connected electrically with screens at opposite ends of circuits, thousands of miles at a span." 8. Tanks "Huge forts on wheels will dash across open spaces at the speed of express trains of today."
- 7. 9. Bigger fruit "Strawberries as large as apples will be eaten by our great-great -grandchildren." 10. The Acela Express "Trains will run two miles a minute normally. Express trains one hundred and fifty miles per hour."
