Anything which is physically possible can always be made financially possible; money is a bugaboo of small minds.
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Most people who sneer at technology would starve to death if the engineering infrastructure were removed.
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.
