This not to say that
humans will not occupy space eventually.
But they have to do a
few things first. One of which is to keep the Earth habitable
throughout the first years of space exploration.
In fact, more than just
habitable, we need a growing and expanding civilisation
living on a healthy Earth.
It cannot be the case that
space is a place for the few to escape to. Such a
idea will rightly bring destruction down on that effort.
So how do we do that with
physics and not politics?
With practical and subtle
ideas that alter economic reasoning, and change the mind set of a new
generation.
