SlingShot (2014)
Inspiring, and ill-aimed genius

Slingshot: you will be hearing about this. A genius rational and deterministic innovator who is tackling the world water crisis. On Netflix, worth watching.
Response: He ends hoping for time travel. Granted, it's not H.G. Wells'ian, and I posit that it is also possible now. Think 3d printing and sensory feedback devices - make a "soup" and send it to Mars, print whatever "being" you desire. Heads-up interface with hydraulic suit for controller on Earth, predictive A.I. to deal with communications lag = time/space travel.
More core response: Rationalism discards ~60% of reality. It's an extremely myopic, and widely accepted lens, which is self- limiting to the extreme. I shudder, and wonder aghast, as wonder is reified.
