I'm so old I remember using an ancient encyclopedia to research space for a school project, where it had illustrations about what they thought colonies on Mars would look like in 1985.

That could have been the 90's if your school was under funded.

As a fellow old that sounds familiar. Though the details of my parents Encyclopedia Britannica collection are lost to the mists of time.

Interesting that it didn't predict them for the year 2000 like the flying autonomous cars in my uncles book from the 70s.
