There is so much global angst today about our environment and the need for resources and non-fossil fuel energy sources. Add to this the worldwide economic slump and fears about a total collapse, and far too many of the proposed solutions are simply calls for making do with less. No. Where is the hope in that? What room does that attitude make for human vision, passion, and ingenuity that always leads to creative solutions to our problems? It helps to look beyond Earth, to remember that we have an entire solar system to call "home." The Space Renaissance Forum is a new effort to extend the human economic domain further into space. The Space Renaissance Initiative is working, together with other pro-space organizations and groups, to organize a world wide Space Renaissance Forum, to be held just before the next G20, in April 2009, in the same place where the G20 will be held.The goal of the forum is to indicate clearly the only way to escape the global recession: - to develop the low cost Earth-Orbit and return space flight, - to industrialize the Moon, - to run the Space Tourism industry, - to run the Solar Power from Space, - to begin using the Near Earth Asteroids resources and the immense energy flowing just outside our mother planet, in the Solar System. The above text comes from the Space Renaissance Forum website, where you will find a call to action, a place for your name and supportive comments, and more. The signs are all around us, and they all say the same thing: "space available."
