I was checking dates for a different reason and came upon the information that Voyager 1 is supposed to reach the Oort Cloud in about three hundred years and I think if I ever get a chance to write for a sci-fi television show, the kind with fast space travel -- Star Trek, Doctor Who, whatever -- that's the episode I'm writing.
The year's 23-- (we'll say 2322 because) and humanity's space travel abilities have so wholly eclipsed anything imagined in the 1970s. We've got interstellar travel, we've made friends with the Centaurians, etc. The Oort Cloud is no longer theoretical, we've got frickin' maps or whatever now.
But there's still this little probe, launched full of hope and good will, and it's approaching this boundary.
And it would be a party. Star Fleet puts up their observation ships in the days leading up to Voyager 1's approach. Space tourists come to stand in front of the observation windows, waiting to watch it go by. And of course, it will have been centuries since Voyager 1 lost power, but it'll still be going even if it can't talk to us anymore.
And in the background, for the entire episode of whatever show it is, the music playing, the sounds projecting over the loudspeakers, would of course be the entire catalogue from the Golden Record. The hellos in all those different languages, the brainwaves, the whales, Johnny B. Goode.
I just think it would be nice.

Imagine Dynamight going to a school to be interviewed by the little children there, sitting down in one of the chairs in their classroom that is far too small for his hulking form but he sits down in it without complaint as the kids sit down in front of him with crossed legs.
And he loves it, because they have no filter— just like him, and they end up asking him the most blunt questions without hesitation. And some of the questions he’d never usually answer if they were coming from broadcasters or reporters, but he can’t lie to these kids so he keeps responding openly and honestly.
Even when one of the little girls asks “Mister Dynamight, do you have a girlfriend?”
It’s a rumour that’s been circulating for months as the media try to work out who the mysterious woman is in his life (if there even is one!) and it’s confirmed immediately when Bakugou answers with a, “Yeah, I do.”
And as his PR manager is having a meltdown in the corner, Bakugou’s grin is wide when the little boys in the room sound out a simultaneous chorus of “ewwwwwww”
