That is a 40 year forecast of something that may or may not represent the future.
I have been reading through the editorials and science articles on looking 20+ years into the future on electronics, TV, Air travel, space etc. in Radio and hobbies from 1939 to 1965. The number of predictions that were anything like what eventually happened are very rare, even over a 10 year period let alone 40 years.
Another source of predictions of technology for the future that I have is in the Meccano magazines from 1916-1980. Great and amusing reading to see what we thought of the future 40 years hence.
The Moon and Mars would be well and truly colonised for one thing.
