The First Year of 21stCenturyWaves.com!

Published by Dr. Bruce Cordell at 2:53 pm under Readers' Favorite Posts

This week we’re celebrating the first anniversary of the launch of 21stCenturyWaves.com!

Time really does fly when you’re having fun. And the global spectacle of the international ascent toward the new 1960s — the 2015 Maslow Window – continues to enthrall.

Thanks to everyone who’s visited this blog. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed it, and we appreciate all your comments and suggestions.

I had never written a continuing weblog before last May, and I’d like to thank all the Contributing Editors — and many other friends and colleagues not listed — for their advice, suggestions, and encouragement!

I’d especially like to thank Rachel Nishimura, because without her efforts 21stCenturyWaves.com might still not exist.

It’s been a dynamic year, to say the least, and the short-term trajecory for NASA remains fuzzy. However, global trends and key events of the last year still point enticingly toward an on-time opening of the 2015 Maslow Window.

We plan to continue evaluating our forecasts in the context of the 10 Wave Guides, and to comment on the events, timelines, and significance of near-term space colonization as it unfolds.
