They probably won’t be able to vote till 2020 when, according to NewsOfFuture.com, the first hotel opens on the moon, tourists head to Mars, and a marathon is completed in less than two hours. Does that fast-speed life sound far-fetched? Of course it does. After all, Toyota plans to take 12 years just to make an entire fleet of hybrid cars. But maybe by then cars can travel to the moon on Jell-O? Get out and vote for a clean future, kids!
