Re: How secure is our space project future?

I think most of us here in the forum would agree with you. The long term further of the human race depends upon space exploration and colonizing. We are running out of territory and, hence, the resources we need. Even if we do manage to control our population growth, we still cannot forever exist here alone on this one small planet. We have the whole universe out there. In some twenty to thirty years from now, we could be developing full fusion, gravity and/or magnetic power and be able to REALLY explore the universe.

What you describe is a breakdown in public goals and the will to achieve them---also in cooperation. What you need is an explanation of why that breakdown. What is causing it? It does no good to just lament. There is no cure until the cause is found. You say we need better education. We've been saying that for the last half century or more.

Our educational system is based on our secular ideals. Unfortunately, those ideals are not working any more. They do not inspire students. The old religions are now obsolete. We need a whole new ideological system.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
