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.

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.

Dear President Obama,

Your words are visionary but they are not being followed with action by the agencies in your administration. Three agencies in your administration are unwilling to even acknowledge a promising alternative energy source, space solar power. The concept of space solar power has been around for 40 years.
