Richard Gott III who is a professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University, cites Martin Rees who is a professor of cosmology and astrophysics and Master of Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. http://www.spaext.com/) [If there are civilizations elsewhere in the universe,] Their eventual choice, as ours, is spaceflight or extinction. Carl Sagan ...the only factor that appears to have improved a family of organisms’ chance of survival was widespread geographic colonization at the time of the event. The Columbia Encyclopedia The goal of the human spaceflight program should be to increase our survival prospects by colonizing space. J. Richard Gott The aim of astronautics is “to extend life to there”, to establish habitats beyond Earth. This should be achieved not only for its intrinsic value, but to ensure the safety of the human species through a critical stage of its development. A civilization restricted to the surface of a single planet has inevitable threats to its long-term existence. Natural threats such as epidemics and impacts from space objects, and man-made threats such as nuclear and biological war, will be joined by new threats from emerging sciences and technologies. If we have self-sufficient human settlements throughout the solar system, and access to life support technology on Earth, humankind would have a secure future. A global catastrophe, although terrible, would not end the human species and the potential of a universe filled with intelligent life. We have a choice between two possible futures: spaceflight or extinction. To do nothing is a choice for the second future. The aim of this web site is to contribute towards the first. The theme of this book is that humanity is more at risk than at any earlier phase in its history. The wider cosmos has a potential future that could even be infinite. But will these vast expanses of time be filled with life, or as empty as the Earth’s first sterile seas? The choice may depend on us, this century. Space colonization leads to solutions for terrorism, hunger, disease, warming, pollution, water scarcity, and povertyW. H. Siegfried" 2003 The Boeing Company, Integrated Defense Systems “Space Colonization—Benefits for the World” http://www.aiaa.org/participate/uploads/acf628b.pdf We have begun to colonize space, even to the extent of early space tourism. Our early Vostok, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Spacehab, Mir and now ISS are humankind’s first ventures toward colonization. Efforts are underway to provide short space tours, and endeavors such as the X-Prize are encouraging entrepreneurs to provide new systems. Many believe that extended space travel (colonization) will do for the 21st century what aviation did for the 20th. Our current concerns including terrorism, hunger, disease, and problems of air quality, safe abundant water, poverty, andweather vagaries tend to overshadow long-term activities such as Space Colonization in the minds of many. Our leading “think tanks” such as the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Brookings Institute do not rate space travel high on lists of future beneficial undertakings even though many of the concerns listed above are prominently featured. It is the contention of this paper that Space Colonization will lead toward solutions to many of the emerging problems of our Earth, both technological and sociological. The breadth of the enterprise far exceeds the scope of our normal single-purpose missions and, therefore, its benefits will be greater.
