.... …telecommunications, weather monitoring, military activities, etc. but more importantly through providing a future that we can get excited about. In our daily lives there are many things we see that are mundane or negative. A future with new worlds and new opportunities is a stark contrast to the media news of fighting in Iraq, oil shortages, AIDS, pollution...
We need to place more emphasis on the great things we can do as a species and work toward them. Accelerated space activities would provide an even stronger driver for positive progress. With the proper direction and vision our current expenditures could open the moon and Mars to human life, provide a system producing limitless clean power and remove the bounds of location we currently have. Imagine a future without the threat of oil shortages, with new frontiers to explore, and generations with dreams the size of the galaxy. That is the possible future that space activities can provide.
Our space activities could save our world figuratively and literally – space is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity.
