That person who will first fly in private space trip around the Moon will get popularity big enough to become next president of the USA.
There was time, when nobody was living in such luxury than we do today. Still, people were flying into the space, to the Moon. What's wrong with us?
How to motivate people to achieve more, to get into the new adventures? By confident speeches, or, perhaps, by example of our leaders?

In order to be understood by the people and the government of Mexico why the nation needs the establishment of a national space agency, it is needed to be understood that science-driven programs lead to a real economic recovery. Much of this understanding will become publicly accepted through the historical and scientific-technological facts which were involved in the success of the Apollo Program— how true science-driven programs thrust national economies for the benefit of all.

Creation of the African Space Agency gives humanity a chance to pause and to think about what do we want to achieve next. Do we want existing low risk stability, or do we want to undertake major scientific research to invent the alternative to the rockets, to invent very powerful mobile energy source, to invent new methods for radiation and dust shielding of the space ships, to invent new communication methods. The accent is on inventing new things, not on using or innovating existing ones.

The primary challenge for space solar power towers is economics. Over half the cost of current SBSP systems is associated with launch costs. To reduce launch costs the size of the SBSP system must be reduced. In order for SBSP concepts to become an economically viable source of clean energy, it is necessary to lower the SPS satellite’s mass and size to the point that it can be launched into working orbit with currently available commercial launch vehicles – and without requiring any on-orbit astronaut assembly or unnecessary infrastructure. This is only possible by designing a smaller, yet more efficient, SPS system that would operate in an orbit closer to Earth.

This paper presents a new design reference model for the development of economic, practical and technically feasible Space Based Solar Power (SBSP) systems that can provide a viable source of clean, renewable energy for markets on Earth.

This paper presents a new architecture option for low Earth orbit (LEO) Space-based Solar Power (SBSP) using wireless power transmission (WPT) and a space power relay (SPR) for Earth and Space energy. The goal is to determine the technical viability of this new space power concept to provide energy to the Earth and to a variety of space architectures and determine the possible reductions in mass to orbit.

The process itself of colony establishment on the Moon and running it for the first decades will provoke significant evolution of the humanity.
Today, we are used too much to steal, buy, recruit ready made inventions, not to invent by ourselves. We are a little bit afraid of radical changes and taking significant risks. We have lost a lot of that spirit of discovering and creating new things which was common in the past centuries. For that we can thank our instincts, intellectual divide, and modern business management quasi-sciences.

What if the aliens are trying to contact us time after the time as a group mind, because individual contact with the single human due to our intellectual capacity differences is simply impossible? How to respond to them this way properly? How to identify the contact? How will exchange of the information look like?
What would the contact between the two thinking beings look like in humans interpretation?

As humanity prepares to extend its reach beyond low-Earth-orbit for the first time since the 1970s, a new symbol of international cooperation is needed to further promote the message of peace and collaboration such exploration entails. The space race that occurred between the USSR and the USA is an ill-suited model for long-term sustained space exploration because it is too costly and too resource-intensive for a single nation to bear. While competition is healthy for technology development, the success of a sustained space exploration strategy lies beyond technological capabilities. It lies in international cooperation,space policy, and public support.

For the last two years I have been focused on developing alternative solutions for Space-based Solar Power (SBSP). This started with an extensive review of past concepts to determine why SBSP remained uneconomical forty years after its invention by Dr. Peter Glaser. The conclusion was that locating the SBSP Satellites in GEO posed a substantial mass penalty on the Satellites due to the need for a very large satellite transmitter and the need for in-space transportation from low Earth orbit (LEO) to geostationary orbit (GEO). So the question then became – If not GEO where?
