Intercultural understanding. Working in an international environment to meet your needs in terms of manpower, resources (silicon for electronics, hardware components) and launch facilities all requires collaborating with people from various backgrounds.
The internet, cable TV and direct broadcast are some of the applications which has removed the barrier of time and space. Now one can sit in the comfort of his or her drawing room and shop for a product across the globe, speak to a loved one in another continent and receive lectures from a professor researching at the other end of the planet. Morover, weather news and prediction has given the farmers and agriculturalists more reasons to plan ahead.
Space has given reason for people to think about dimensions other than their own surroundings, to think across fields and across specific lifestyles. It has also enabled man to take a much more tolerant approach of cultures. It has tremendous potential to bridge gap across civilizations since in the outer reaches of the cosmos we can only regards ourselves as humans. Most of the cultures of the world have an awe and inspiration for the stars out there and for the beautiful sketch of vast and unexplored territory. Let us take this message out for our fellow earthlings so that we can truly contribute towards the sustaining of the ‘lovely blue marble’.
