Do you think the technology was unrealistic for 2093?

Some of the stuff seemed realistic for 80 years in the future but a lot of it seems a bit far fetched. Interstellar light-speed travel, androids with that level of functionality and personality/emotional intelligence who are indistinguishable from humans, etc. Those two were the big ones that stood out to me, the rest seems reasonable.  I might get flamed for being skeptical of such an advanced android but even with the existing level of AI and the speed at which it advancing it still seems extreme.

I think you would be surprised by Technology if its allowed to advance, there are a lot of restrictions of Technology and Medical/Genetic Science in regards to if such things are needed compared to what most Mega Corps/Powers deem are needed.

The Technological Layout of the Covenants Ship as far as its Input Technologies, Controls etc are something that we could realistically see in even 50 years, as far as the Control Functions of Standard Earth Sea Vessels of the Future.

I think if we went to Mars, then things would be more basic and simplistic, but certainly feel movies like the Martian, Gravity even those like Life and Cloverfield Paradox do represent what i feel Ships/Missions to the Moon, Mars and Space Stations would look like in say 50 years.

But not quite like in Covenant, until we have at least managed to start colonization on Mars/Moon to the degree we would be sending ships there regularly like every few years, AND once we manage to find a efficient way to have Gravity on these Ships.

I think its not beyond our means to see Ships Internally and maybe externally looking like the Covenant in 100 years, certainly in 150 years.

But not as far as Cryo-sleep, and more so FTL Travel, i thik Cryo-sleep to a degree could be reality in 50-100 years, maybe not as effective as in Alien Franchise.... but the Faster Than Light Speeds really depends on IF and WHEN we ever break those Laws of Psychics.

As far as AI and Realistic Androids i think this depends on investment which depends on what value they put on the needs for it.

If the world Invests as much on Robotics, as it does on the Pursuit, Obtaining and  Refining of Fuel, be it Fossil Fuel or Nuclear.

Then that kind of money and investment i think we would see a rabid growth in Robots, where they would certainly become life-like but only limited to how real looking the Technology would be and how Advanced the AI would be.

Androids

The above video is from 2012 and bare in mind this is from a low budget company with Budgets like the Worlds Top Military spends and 5 years then we would get Robots with more real skin and movements... but certainly would still look not Human.

But with continued high Budget Spending and urgence then in 50 years who knows and i would say its not beyond us on high spending budgets to make a real robot that looks as real (or not so) and moves similar to the Terminator Special Effects shown HERE 

As of right now..

If we look at THIS VIDEO

I would say Aesthetically, if we had the last 5 years invested Billions into Robotics, then Skin Wise etc we would be at this level now, but with much more fluid movements like this  FAKE ANDROID

so i think the movement of that FAKE Human acting as a Robot with the Aesthetic look of the other video or this ONE

Is something we could be capable of now... as far basic movement, but as far as being able to WALK, SIT, and LAY down... i think we would be about 10-15 years off..   So i do think if Science puts its mind and financial might to it, that in 25 years we would surely have Synthetics who would be hard to tell from Human, apart from the AI aspect..

The AI aspect is interesting, its hard to Gauge when you consider the Processing Power and AI of our most Powerful Computers compared to the even 25 years ago, never mind 40... then i think indeed who knows how Advanced they could be in 25-50 years.

I would certainly say Robots like in I-Robot, or Working Joe from Alien Isolation are not to far off, maybe 20-30 years and again a lot depends no the Urgence that is placed on the need for them, investments such as USA Military Budgets would certainly give us at least I-Robot levels of Robots in 25 years.

So in the year 2100...  i do think we could be close to Androids from Alien Franchise, i think at least we would be at the Half-Way point between a Walter, and those Basic Androids shown in the videos above.

Here is another interesting video..

As far as ships in the year 2100, i would assume we would be looking Internally at a Prometheus meets Nostromo, and so the Covenant i feel is a good reflection... but again a lot depends on how far we are from moving people to Mars in large numbers (100's) and if we utilize some kind of Artificial Gravity, then the Necessity for Ships to be more advanced internally would be like the Covenant.

If not, i would say the internals of the Nostromo, but with Flat Screen TV Technology or even Hologram Glass Type Technology would be very plausible.

Well, it is science FICTION.
