Show me the next 30 years. One shot, no cuts. Five stops: 2026, Earth at night under a cloud of satellites; 2032, a ring around the planet with space elevators; 2040, a base on the Moon; 2048, cities on Mars; 2056, a swarm of mirrors circling the Sun. Continuous camera flight from Earth out to Mars, then back past Earth to the Sun. Every frame rendered by code from real planet maps.
