Twenty five years ago I read some predictions and remember laughing at the time that whatever the guy was smoking sure helps write some nice scify. It feels strange watching them came to pass one after another over the years.

To say the exit is more important than the entry is like saying the landing gear is more important than the wings. They are both important. The exit is more difficult to model because if it were as clear as the entry you would be continuously stopping and reversing.
