Jupiter, 2210
Inspired by Arthur C. Clarke
200 years ago saw the beginning of the 19th century. Light bulbs wouldn't be commonly used for almost another century, the notion of heavier than air flight crafts was absurd, and the lands west of the Mississippi were being explored for the first time. People of 1810 couldn't imagine the miracles technology would bestow upon people living in the year 2010.
Now jump to the year 2210. Two hundred years in the future, human kind's population has sky rocketed as they take their first steps into the solar system. Fantastic technologies have allowed the previously unthinkable - muon-catalyzed fusion thrusters have made the unimaginable distances between planets into mere day-trips; enormous factories installed on planets and moons spew greenhouse gases to add enough pressure for humans to comfortably live on; giant orbital mirrors constantly redirect sunlight to previously frozen worlds, letting us walk uninhibited in warm and lush climates who once held nothing but ice. Humanity itself has undergone redesigning, genetically modifying its genes and cell structure to survive the harshness of celestial radiation. Two hundred years in the future, humanity will achieve what we can only now think of as pure imagination.
Here is the Jovian system, two hundred years from our current time. Europa is clearly visible in the front, a lush and wet planet more suited for humanity than the Earth itself. Two mirrors constantly orbit it, directing the sun's light to create a comfortable living environment for its new inhabitants. Ganymede, seen in the not-so-far distance, has been redesigned as well - a dry but still suitable world for humanity to extend its reach to. Callisto remains untouched by human hands - though far less hostile than its brother Io, not even in the year 2210 will we have the sorts of miracles to convert these satellites into something livable.
But by 2410, who knows?
