ORBITAL VECTOR
This site is meant to be an online encyclopedia for the technology of the future.
Technology that may exist ten years or ten centuries from now, as imagined by scientists, engineers, authors, and artists alike.
Orbital Vector is a work in progress dedicated to collecting and cataloging speculative technology ideas, and to function as a bridge between real science and science fiction for the layman. On the hub pages and articles, technology is arranged from lowest tech to highest, so that the further down the page you scroll, the deeper into the future you go.
