What’s one specific, concrete thing humans don’t have now that you would like to see us figure out while you’re still alive so you can say, “Hey, wow, look there, we figured that out!” (I think I’ll take the most blindingly obvious answer to this off the table, because otherwise everybody is gonna say, “Cure cancer.”)

    Not how to get TO a different planet (i.e. Mars), but how to get BACK from it. The rocket equation is a bitch.

    A Star Trek-style replicator would be nice… do away with scarcity and we eliminate so, so many of the problems that plague us as a species.

    Warp drive. NASA is actually working on it now. We're just talking about moving a particle, but come on. Warp drive!

    This is very personal, but I'd like a cure for fibromyalgia.

    Some transportation mechanism that isn't going to kill us with pollution and global warming.
