Welcome divine readers. Thanks for being here. Yesterday I discussed what I expect in the realm of space exploration in the next thirty years. I can not imagine we will be leaving the solar system for a long long time.
The next one hundred years and beyond will be about exploring the system of planets, moons and other assorted debris we live in. We will begin mining resources from other worlds as Earth’s becomes depleted.
While the stars continue to fascinate us there is much to discover and explore in our local neighborhood. Europa has liquid water that we are eager to learn if supports life. Titan has a very interesting environment. We believe the asteroid belt is a gold mine for minerals and ores we can use here on Earth.
Colonies can be set up on Mars with technology we have today. As the capitalists explore Earth orbit they will bring more and more scientists into the study of astrophysics. We will certainly learn new ways of living and working in space.
These predictions are based on the assumption that we do something to deal with climate change very soon. If we do not then we will be spending our efforts dealing with adapting to the new Earth Climate. That most likely would put space exploration back at least one hundred years.
That is the scenario I offer up in my sci fi series.
Tomorrow, I will spell out my future if we don’t fix things
Earth Year 2013
