Someday Somewhere Beyond “The Earth in Space” at the 6th Imagine Science Film Festival.

“Imagine a city in space, a round structure miles across that millions of people would call home. Engineers working at NASA in the 1970s developed colorful proposals for permanent settlements in space, but their plans were shelved and forgotten. Decades later, a new generation of dreamers from high schools around the world aspire to mine asteroids, terraform other planets, and venture to the stars. The students have come together for a contest at NASA, and have big plans for the next millennium.”

Played in the program “The Earth in Space” at the 6th Imagine Science Film Festival.

After watching this film Someday Somewhere Beyond one has to reflect on the concept of an expanding world view that goes beyond mother Earth. If you love your mother you have to expand beyond her womb (Earth). Exploring space, creating colonies attached to asteroids in which there are many. is a logical option to the expansion of a near future 20 billion+ human/post human species. Terraforming Mars via greenhouse gasses almost sounds ironic since one of the major issues with Earth is the explosive rise in greenhouse gas emissions. That (greenhouse gasses) which contributed to the destruction of one planets death (Earth) is the contributing factor towards another planets Life (Mars).

“Effort, with vision and patience, determination, a more wholistic view, that certainly we can reduce many crisis, that is my fundamental belief and most important clear vision, here you have to know the reality and in order to do that, wholistic view and then in order to do that development of determination or will power motivation now here compassion. Compassion gives you inner strength also compassion gives you self confidence that is the basis of willpower or determination. So wisdom side and determination these two combine I think many problems can be reduced. That is my fundamental belief.” quote: HH 14 Dalai Lama Maui April 27, 2007

Technology Test Pilot

In 1995 At Maui High Performance Computing Center The Maui Scientific Analysis & Visualization of the Environment Program was first incubated. I was the principal investigator of this independant research project which was a joint development between MHPCC, Silicon Graphics Computers (SGI) & NKO.ORG. Using SGI Cosmo Worlds software, we pioneered the development of Internet based 3D virtual reality GIS based interactive worlds. In 1996 with a network of seven high performance SGI workstations we pioneered development of live streaming MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Real Video and QuickTime Streaming Server utilizing Kassenna MediaBase software. In Maui 2002 we pioneered and tested the first wireless live streaming video using laptop computers and Maui Sky Fiber's portable 3G wireless device. In Maui we pioneered live streaming video using usb modems from AT&T , Verizon as well as live streaming from iPhone 3 over 3G wireless networks. Today The Maui S.A.V.E. Program has diversified into storm tracking including visualization and analysis of large, memory-intensive gridded data sets such as the National Hurricane Center's wind speed probabilities. I volunteer my services to numerous Disaster Services Organizations. In June 2013 I returned from Hurricane Sandy deployment as a computer operations service associate with the Disaster Services Technology Group assisting as The American Red Cross migrated from a Disaster Response Operation to Long Term Recovery Operations. Pioneering the production/editing and Internet distribution of HD video to sites like Youtube.com and Vimeo.com we are shining the light towards environmental and peace efforts of humans across the globe. Since 1992 I have held the vision of establishing Maui, Hawaii as the environmental sciences center of the world. After His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet came to Maui This vision has expanded to establishing Maui as the environmental & peace center of the world.
