Discover The Human-Space Connection®...
Space is a mere 62 miles above us, and thus a continuation of our environment.
Space is an extension of the economy, and thus part of our lives.
Space is a place of abundant resources, and thus crucial to global prosperity, liberty and peace.
What new space industries and jobs are coming?
Space... it's not just for astronauts and aerospace companies anymore. Space is nothing more than another place for humans to live, work, play, and learn.
Commercial space vehicles and hotels are being designed for you. Ready for micro-gravity fun?
Want to buy a ticket to ride into space, either for just a few orbits or an overnight stay in a hotel?
What would making love be like in a zero-gravity bedroom?
Imagine playing basketball, soccer, baseball, and other sports in a domed stadium on the Moon, where the gravity is one-sixth that of Earth.
Space, the environment, and energy
Orbiting satellites have been used for decades to monitor our environment, but how can space resources be used to provide clean energy and protect our environment?
What can today's leaders learn from President Kennedy's lunar landing declaration?
When President Kennedy dedicated America to a lunar landing before the end of the 1960's, the Saturn V rocket wasn't even on the drawing board, many scientists thought it could not be done, and countless challenges remained to be understood and solved.
How can you duplicate this kind of leadership in today's business environment?
NASA has hindered the human migration into space. What happened after Apollo, and why?
Apollo was the pinnacle of NASA's achievements, and nothing since then has come close in either scope or accomplishment. The decades since Apollo are littered with expensive NASA programs that failed to open the space frontier to humanity. The space shuttle failed to fly 55 times each year and significantly lower the cost of space transportation, as promised by NASA. The space station was projected to cost $8 billion and be constructed in ten years when it was proposed by President Reagan in 1984, and by early 2009 it has cost over $100 Billion and is not yet finished.
What happened to NASA?
Can you own property on the Moon, or an entire asteroid?
Do international treaties matter on other worlds? Do national courts have jurisdiction?
An entrepreneur's journey; passion, faith, and tears
Being a successful entrepreneur requires more than a business plan and funding. You need something that carries you through the dark times, and they will come. Something from the heart, not the head. Something less tangible than a plan and the money to see it through, yet no less vital.
Yes, you need passion, faith, and the renewal brought by tears.
