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
