Planetary/Solar Resource Management, Biospherical Security and The New Space Adventure!

Slide2: 

This Presentation was created for the Aerospace Technology Working Group as a Kaleidoscopic Mosaic, which embodies the Collective Thoughts and Visions of many different Individuals and Organizations. The intent was to put forth an array of new Paradigms, Concepts, and Pathways into the Future, which will hopefully assist in laying the groundwork for the synergistic evolution of A New American Presidential Space Initiative.

Slide3: 

Just as Lewis & Clarke adventured into the American Frontier, Space too must be experienced directly to be fully understood. When the Human Consciousness comprehends this “New Wilderness” it is also correspondingly transformed.

Slide4: 

“The Key Uniting Element between the New Space Movement and the President’s Moon, Mars, Beyond Vision is that our goal in Space is not just to go out there and come back, but to go there, and go out there, and go out there – this time to stay. Further, Space is now seen as a Frontier, a Frontier to be opened to all, accessed by all, and utilized for all.” …Rick Tumlinson – Founder of the Space Frontier Foundation

The Biosphere: Nature’s Computer Program: 

The Biosphere: Nature’s Computer Program The Natural World is a Shifting Mosaic of Dynamic Interactions. The best way to learn how this system operates is to immerse one’s self in the Environment, carefully observing a Rainforest, or Coral Reef. Total Immersion and Observation are powerful tools for understanding Nature, or for creating a viable Human Presence in Space. “Being there” and “Merging with The Environment” are critical Factors for Survival and Success in any New Frontier!”

India’s New Educational Satellite: 

India’s New Educational Satellite In 2002, India made the decision to launch into orbit a 12-transponder Satellite dedicated to Education. EDUSAT was conceived as a tool for creating a “Mass-Education Movement” in India, where Education is highly valued by rich and poor alike. Educators began developing 3 separate 24-hour Educational TV Channels, along with a network of FM Radio Stations. On Sept. 2, 2004, EDUSAT was successfully launched into geosynchronous orbit. Programs will be beamed into 100-200 classrooms. Interactivity will come from 20-30 uplinks, connected to 5,000 classrooms, which can serve up to 150,000 Remote Interactive Classrooms …www.goodnewsindia.com

Very Distant Learning: 

Very Distant Learning Recent developments in Space Technologies bring a whole new meaning to the term “Distance Learning.” These innovations will eventually allow a professor on the Moon, or on a robotic lander on Mars to conduct “Virtual Field Trips” with students on Earth, and even in Space. “Interplanetary Chat Rooms,” Guest Experts and from Mars, the Moon and Space Stations will be typical educational activities by 2020. …Dr. Curtis Bonk, Indiana State University

Virtual “Telepresence”: 

Virtual “Telepresence” Virtual Telepresence has incredible potential for people of all nations to participate in and fund the New Space Adventure. It is a cost-effective way for anyone “visit” a Space Habitat, “fly” above the surface of a planet, participate in an expedition on Mars, or to explore unique regions of Space, like the Rings of Saturn or the Seas of Europa. “Space Sims” can take place in Real Time, in Virtual Environments created with space-probe data, or in Sci-Fi Worlds, created using VideoGaming Technology.

Resources from the Sea BioProspecting Genetic: 

Resources from the Sea BioProspecting Genetic By adapting to Environmental Extremes, Deep Sea Organisms have evolved Structures and Metabolic Pathways that make them Valuable Biological Resources. Discovery of Hydrothermal Vent Communities in the deep oceans have changed our thinking on the parameters of Life. A entirely new Biological Kingdom (Archaea) was discovered, which has previously unknown chemosynthetic pathways. This expands our definition of Life, and provides exciting clues about Life on Earth and on other Planets. …The Ocean Our Future, 1998, Report of the Independent World Commission on the Oceans, p.124.

Robotic Transatlantic Surgery: 

Robotic Transatlantic Surgery In the World’s First Complete Long-Distance Surgery, a Team of Doctors in New York used Robotic Technology to perform Gallbladder Surgery on a Patient in France. Watching the Operation on the Computer Screen, with instruments connected to Sensors, hi-speed signals traveled 4,000 miles across the Atlantic through fiber-optic lines to Robots that carried out the NY doctors’ commands. Doctors named the 54-minute procedure, “Operation Lindbergh” to honor Charles Lindbergh’s Transatlantic Flight. This raises possibilities for Remote Surgery on Soldiers on the battlefield, or Astronauts in Space. …USA Today, Sept. 20, 2001

Earth: a “Natural Space Ship”: 

Earth: a “Natural Space Ship” Earth is really a Natural” Space Ship, which orbits the Sun, and is a part of the Solar System, which itself moves through Space in concert with the other Celestial Bodies of our Galaxy. Over the Millennia, Earth has evolved a Biosphere which nurtures a vast complex of life. To sustain a Human Presence in Space, we must learn to build and manage sustainable Biospheres to produce Food & Useful Materials…first on Earth, then for Orbital Habitats and Resorts, and then for our Lunar and Martian Colonies.

Slide27: 

Recent advances in Space Technology now allow Human Consciousness to span vast interstellar distances and to view the most distant Galaxies. This Quantum Expansion and Evolution of the Human External Perspective has been reflected in corresponding shifts in the very depth and character of Human Consciousness Itself!

Space & the Evolution of Human Social Consciousness: 

Space & the Evolution of Human Social Consciousness “…We are laying the foundations for a series of New Civilizations that are the next logical steps in the Evolution of Human Society and Human Consciousness.” “…Human Exploration of Space may serve an even higher purpose than our own evolution as a species, performing a vital function for the Universe as a whole.” …Frank White – The Overview Effect

New Paradigms for A Viable Human Presence in Space : 

New Paradigms for A Viable Human Presence in Space As we enter the Third Millennium we face many overwhelming social, and environmental problems on National and Global Scales. Conventional Science and Technology have attempted to address these problems, but in most instances…especially with Global Environmental Problems, solutions simply do not yet exist. We need Fresh Approaches, New Thinking, and Unique Technological Solutions…combining the latest Scientific Technology, with Alternative Technologies, some of which have been around since the 1940’s, but were rejected by Mainstream Science, because they did not fit within the existing Paradigm.

New Revolutionary Paradigms: 

New Revolutionary Paradigms Are “Self-Aware” in that they are created to change, grow, and evolve in ways that provide the most appropriate matrix for the Social and Techno-Ecological Parameters of the times.

Slide31: 

Revolutionary Paradigms are “open-ended,” with flexible, evolvable Guidelines. These Guidelines enrich Mental and Spiritual Growth, encourage Intellectual Diversity, and supercharge Human Brainpower to generate creative solutions for the Social, Economic, and Environ-mental Problems we face as Global Citizens. Many of these problems can be solved with the same technology developed for the New Human Space Adventure!

Revolutionary Paradigm: 

Revolutionary Paradigm When an organism is stimulated with the appropriate form of Energy, it will raise its frequency in Harmonic Resonance…first in Linear, and then in Quantum Jumps. This means that the vibrational and physical structures will arrive at a state where they must change their basic compo-sition, in order to continue using Energy at the Higher Frequencies.

Slide33: 

Embedded within a New Paradigm Model would be rich constellations of New Solutions, Technologies, and Concepts, such as a “Return on Investment” back to Earth from Space Science and Technology, and that every Thought and Action today will impact Earth and its Planetary Resources in the Future. The new concepts and technologies for a Human Presence in Space will bring back to Earth new and better ways to live in balance with Earth’s Resources, and with the Global Biosphere itself.

Space Technology and Planetary Weather:

Slide36: 

Space Technology offers a fantastic array of Meteorological Tools, allowing us an unprecedented view and understanding of Global Weather Systems. With the recent increase of Weather-Related Disasters, Economics and Insurance have become Major Factors in Space Technology Funding. A New Emerging Paradigm involves Weather Management and Amelioration. 40 Projects are already in operation globally.

Soliton Waves: 

Soliton Waves Oceanic Solitons (Vance Brand Waves) are nonlinear, localized waves, that move in groups of six. They manifest as large internal waves, and move at a speed of 8 KPH. They were first recorded at depths of 120m by sensors on Oil Rigs in the Andaman Sea. Until that time Scientists denied their very existence…based on the fact that “There was no record of any such phenomenon.”

Slide38: 

Space Technology and Solar Resources

Solar Energy and Solar Weather: 

Solar Energy and Solar Weather Electromagnetic Fields generated by Solar Weather directly influence all Life on Earth. A System of Solar Satellites could provide an Early Warning system for Solar Storms for Spacefarers. The Sun offers Tremendous Promise for sustainable Clean Energy…both on Earth and in Space. We need to find efficient means to Harness and Store this Energy during the evening hours. The Sun’s atmosphere is filled with ultrasound waves of about 100 millihertz every ten seconds…similar to the noise coming out of speakers at a rock concert.

Solar Tower:

Slide41: 

A new, evolved Humans-in-Space Program would use Healthy Competition and Synergy to power up our existing Space Infrastructure with new resources…including the International Community, Space Organizations, the Aerospace Industry, Military Resources, and Space Tourism…ultimately opening new Gateways of Opportunity for people everywhere. This New Space Adventure would draw on presently untapped Financial, Brainpower, and Scientific Resources, and would ultimately “return the investment” to improve the Lifestyles of everyone.

Space Technology and Planetary Management: 

Space Technology and Planetary Management

Gaia: The Global Intelligence: 

Gaia: The Global Intelligence “We can see our Planet as an exquisite, luminous, living globe, hanging undivided in the silence of Space. The testimonies from space bring home with a fresh impact, just what a rare and precious opportunity of life, we share with the Planet as one whole Ecosystem, and as part of It.” …Yatri – Unknown Man: The Mysterious Birth of a New Species

The GlobalConsciousness Commons: 

The Global Consciousness Commons The Key to implementing a New Space Renaissance is to effectively organize and activate the Creative Brainpower Energy of the newly evolving “Global Consciousness Commons.”

New Paradigm for Planetary Management: 

New Paradigm for Planetary Management By combining Traditional Technologies like Natural Selection, Hybridization, or Tissue Culture, with Advanced Technologies such as Cloning, Genetic Engineering, or Nanno-technology, we can create unique new fast-growing, disease resistant ecosystems… New Planetary Biospheres such as “Global Forests,” or “Pan-Oceanic Marine Ecosystems,” which have never before existed on Earth.

Evolution of Planetary Management:

Slide47: 

It is only as a Global Species pooling our knowledge, coordinating our actions and sharing what the Planet has to offer that we have any chance of managing the Planet’s transformation along pathways of sustainable development. …W. C. Clark, 1990 – Managing Planet Earth.

“Eyes of Gaia”: 

“Eyes of Gaia” Satellites, transmit data to Earth-based computers, penetrating clouds, monitoring Vegetation Changes, Land Use, Soil Temperatures, Sea Level and Surface Temperatures, Plankton Blooms, and Polar Ice Thickness. Other “Eyes” include Weather Satellites, The International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope, an Earth-Orbital UV Telescope, and Satellites in outer space, studying the Sun, Planets, and Comets. As more data feeds Earth’s Communications Network, Planetary Self-Awareness will evolve correspondingly. A new awareness of our Solar System and Galaxy will be accelerated. The extraordinary evolution of our Planetary Conscious-ness will be reflected in profound changes in the Global Biosphere, and in Human Society Itself. …Environment News Service: Environmental Treaty Enforcement from the Heavens, April 29, 2001, NOAA/ETL Satellite Climate Research 2/22/01,

Slide49: 

In an unprecedented leap of technology, we now have the ability to monitor Earth’s Biosphere…incredibly expanding the Human Senses. For the first time in history we can apply Space Technology to Planetary Management, and Management of Earth’s Natural Resources. We can accurately monitor Air and Water Pollution, Glacial and Polar Ice Thickness, Forest Cover, Desertification, Oceanic Current Patterns, Migration of Marine Mammals, Ocean Fish Stocks, and Global Weather Patterns.

A New “Home-Planet” Security Paradigm To achieve True Homeland Security, we must develop new creative approaches to Security, and an effective strategies for implementing this Transformation. Ultimately, Security and Peace both depend directly on our ability to Monitor, Protect and Enforce a reasonable balance between Humans and available Planetary Resources. Our Future depends on it!

Environmental Police Academy: 

Environmental Police Academy The Brazilian Government is determined to protect the nation’s Natural Wealth. Brazil has the largest Environmental Police Academy in Latin America. These “Eco-Cops” are being trained to detect and prevent Illegal Logging, Mining, Squatters, and the theft and sale of Rare Animals and Plants. Brazil has stringent Environmental Laws, but without Enforcement these laws are ineffective. …Earth Island Journal, Spring, 2005

Off-Planet Environmental Protection: 

Off-Planet Environmental Protection Two Scientists recently proposed establishing at least seven “Planetary Conservation Parks” on Mars, which would provide protection for Unique Features of the Martian Landscape. “Park” areas would include the Martian Polar Caps, as well as Olympus Mons, the largest Volcano in the Solar System. The parks would be administered by the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs. …Earth Island Journal, Spring, 2005.
