Having no single superpower would be a good thing. No more bully to abuse of all the others. Also having a complete colony on the Moon and some sort of cheap transit system between them, even if it's only as a recreational site or whatever. Maybe we could have "colonized" the entire Solar...

It's obviously some sort of optical illusion caused by swamp gas reflecting light of a weather balloon.
Tracers get lighter as they go so their flight profile isn't the same as a normal round, I have seen them bounce off the ground and go almost vertical in small arms calibres.
