- "...Patterns in long-term trends over the last 200 years...point specifically toward the human colonization of space in the next 20!"
Our approach is different -- Although lots of information about space is continually synthesized and updated we:
1. Track our detailed, timed forecasts out to 2030 against the facts
2. Factor in a broad range of non-space as well as space influences
3. Every other week, reveal the "State of the Wave"
4. Comment on the meaning of key events each day: "The Wavelets" Subscribe to 21st Century Waves
