Not quite. Commercial TV has been around since the 1940s (in the U.S., anyhow) and color broadcasts were commonly available by 1960. My family got it's first color TV in order to watch the 1968 Olympics. Yes, I agree with you there, but I wouldn't be sure if you said that many common homes had colour TVs.
Seeing as this was all hypothesised in 1968, they were pretty good estimates. Though they may be wrong about fast, flying cars etc, remember how different the world was back then. Computers and other modern technology were only in the early stages of development, TV sets were only just new, and still in Black and White.
For someone of that era to have estimated Credit cards being more used than paper money, and most homes having large TV sets is pretty spot on.
And even though flying cars haven't been made quite yet, things like aeroplanes are now far more common, and private flying cars are likely to be coming around in the near future.
Python is a powerful language to know, but also very easy to learn and use. It is what many would call "executable pseudocode". In other words, when programmers discuss and draft code in pseudocode, it very often turns out to be a lot like Python. That's because Python syntax is simple, straightforward, and what people would expect.
I would agree very much that Python code is readable and maintainable.
More information on Python is available from the Python website.
How would you expect the Nigerian government know whether or not Gates wants to live in Nigeria or not? Maybe he actually is trying to illegaly immigrate there...

Isn't that a bit off topic?
I agree, nothing else deserves to go into space more than a 30 year old movie prop.
