This hit me hard ten years ago.

I've always been fascinated by space, as a teenager I wanted to be an astrophysicist, in my early twenties I fully believed Thant humanity was going to explore the solar system and that it would start happening in my lifetime.

I was studying mechanical engineering and I did everything I could to work in aerospace: picked the right specialities, I got two master of mechanical engineering specialized in aerospace manufacturing (France and Czech Republic). I worked in the manufacturing of critical parts of Arian's rocket engine and designed new manufacturing technique for future aircraft engine parts.

I was working towards one goal: being part of the people who will build the spacecraft that will explore the solar system, maybe even be in one.

Then in 2015 after few years working this hit me, I realized all that was never going to happen. Instead of witnessing the exploration of the solar system I am going witness the collapse of it thermo-industrial civilization.

We are running out of resources and energy to maintain the growth of it civilization, so we will witness a slow rise of fascism and extreme as countries start fighting for resources. My dream was to go in space in a few decades, now I realized that I'll consider myself extremely lucky if I have enough for and water to survive in a few decades.
