Oh, and it seemed odd to me that the Odyssey's sleeper units were released from the tractor beam. Too convenient. Not to mention the existence in 2017 of a manned trip to Titan. Something that would have had to be in development long before now. They should've pushed that date back at least 10 years, and probably more. But that's mostly nitpicking.

Well, to be fair, 57 years ago was 1956.
Here was a combine from 1956 - 4 row head cutting conventional corn.
2013 combine cutting 16 rows of Genetically modified corn to fight bugs that they didn't even have insecticide for in 1956. Not to mention that it has auto steer, auto speed, tells the graincart when it is full and the operator can run the grain cart tractor from the cab.
And it is farming FFS, notoriously low-tech.
I don't think technological advancements 57 years from now require that much suspension of belief.
