    as desire catches up with our abilities

my childhood bedroom ceiling has been glowing constellations for over a decade now. it isn't exactly the latest technology. but i realize that implementing this on such a large scale requires a lot of investment and r&d. just seems like such a gimme you know. who wouldn't be onboard with this? i'm wondering if there could be an unspoken aversion to this elsewhere because of its perceived safety. there's already a bit of talk on this thread about teenagers doing dumb stuff. i know if we had glow in the dark lines on the road when i was growing up, i would've driven with my headlights off WAY MORE.
