Also attack that’s classic demagogic trick of opposing space exploration versus starving children.

Hi Joaquin,

Thanks for your message. I’m not familiar with this link but the column was interesting.

I agree that all signs point to the opening of the next Maslow Window on time (by 2015). The current global recession is not over yet, as evidenced for example by the U.S. recently slipping back to nearly 10% unemployment. But the political winds are blowing again in the direction of greater prosperity and suggest the type of ebullient recovery experienced at the end of the 1890s great recession; i.e., the Peary/Panama/TRoosevelt Maslow Window.

Space exploration and colonization offer humanity unlimited energy and material resources, stunning scientific and technological vistas, and unprecedented freedom for political and social innovation and economic prosperity as we expand into the Solar System.

As the Moon race did in the 1960s, the new international space race will begin to dominate global headlines toward 2015. It’ll be amazing.

Best regards,
Bruce
