“News” as the media reports is understandably short term but misleadingly dark. There are so many good trends missed. Take a look at the uplifting Swedish site @Gapminder which will make you feel much much better about humanity. gapminder.org/facts/improvem…

SpaceX today has greater launch capacity than all others. Combined!
