Are we going to run out of oil in the next 20 years ?

Recently, I picked up a book titled "Half Gone" by author Jeremy Leggett. It's a book about the world running out of oil in the next 20 to 30 years based on estimated oil reserve of our planet. I feel that this is indeed a very serious topic, which will really affect of us on Earth as we are so dependent on oil as a fuel. There will be no air travel if you think about it, other land based transportation will probably be available. It will definitely adversely affect all of us ! It will be like going back to pre-oil days or 200 years back !

SpaceX Starship first touchdown

SpaceX Starship 3rd ITF is likely in later part of March 2024, looking forward to the first successful touchdown of the both booster and Starship !  Controlling the engine sufficiently would be critical to achieving the landing either on land or at sea based platform.  Looking to see the first payload by the 5 or 6th launch. If the 3rd test can see the Starship coming back for a controlled landing, then progress should be fast. Should see at least 4 to 5 Starship flights or test in 2024.

It’s the only way they can think of that will generate sustainable energy to travel over distances! Generating sustainable energy without burning too much fuel is always the issue with transportation over significant distances! Or perhaps the fuel source is the issue with human travel!
