It's been pointed out to me I never set a year. I just kind of imagined [i]the distant future[/i] lol. Well, we have the Mars One project proposed for 2023. I assume it may take a generation or two to work out a successful colony. Then we would have to develop better transit ability. If it traveled at 10x the speed of light those thirty years of sleep traveled 300 light years using some form of space warping tech, according to my knows-more-than-me-about-Star-Trek-tech husband. So right now that's mechanically impossible, though we have theories for it. This is not a Star Trek rp though, so I'm thinking three generations from now? 2100's? Assuming some amazing technological feat was developed? They definitely had had leaps and bounds in energy and environmental technology, with the solar powered and water powered "suburbadomes" springing up all over the world.

"The distant future, the year 2000." lol

Also a reminder, escape pods will drift, let's all get into the same pod. :)
