So the idea was that this is White Sands New Mexico after the "big one" hits the West and creates a giant crack into the US starting from the Gulf of California. So in the year 2100, White Sands New Mexico is next to the new larger Gulf of California and also has one of three U.S. space ports. They're enjoying the economic boom because of the space port so it has become this idyllic City/Community.
Just an idea, I thought it was interesting. If you look at what they're watching at the drive-in, you'll see that the Three Stooges are still awesome in the future.
