Our journey begins….. 4

The journey of our heart, spirit and soul for our future, and our children’s future lies in each of us.  Thanks to the many generations of individuals in truly believing the importance of becoming a space-faring nation, and building, achieving, and growing on this strong heritage.  NASA, the Russian Federal Space Agency, ESA, and many other grass root organizations and commercial industry leaders have given us the rare opportunity to survive as a species beyond just being a spark of light in the history of time and space that makes up the history of our home planet, solar system and galaxy.

Imagine colonies of planets, generation space stations and ships, and technology advances preserving our Eco-System for generations to come so we as a species will forever thrive, grow, and advert single-point-of-disaster potentials if we are to expand and flourish throughout the galaxy.

No more would we be afraid of one lone meteorite or comet snuffing everything we are, out in one single quick blast.  Some traveling at speeds 10 times or more faster then a speeding  bullet.  How can any early warning system ever warn us in time to avoid or even prevent such a thing with our current technology levels as they are today.

Now, government funding is losing more and more focus on the importance of our future survival, cutting more and more funding and chances in building and growing this lifeboat which earth and all of mankind so desperately needs.  How can we turn our backs on thinking this tiny island will never be a victim of disaster and destruction when the evidence of history, time and time again has shown otherwise.

Every journey has a beginning….  ours is about to start, here… now.

I invite everyone to join me in a journey of creating the discussion, planning, and tangible implementation of contributing to SPACE COLONIZATION, it’s future for all of planet Earth.   This blog will be the first step in building this cohesion, sharing of knowledge, linking other groups together in common cause and also serve as a central hub in the great tapestry needed to make such a dream a reality.

You have a chance, here and now, to change, contribute, and be apart of history.

Each of us has a unique past, skills, experiences, and talents the Earth so desperately needs to make all of this possible.

This site will begin to open up more and more as the weeks go by.  It’s time for the voices of all mankind be heard that the red-tape of politics, social group agendas, and inward focused thinking organizations understand that our path is clear.  The distractions of these re-directions will no longer smoke screen the truth, the truth that we need to expand into the Galaxy for all mankind.

Cheers!

Ties to Homeworld – Communication

Discussion – How do we stay in touch with mother Earth?

Space Advocacy

Sharing the incredible organizations dedicated to our passion. The spirit of Space Colonization!

Recycling – Conservation

Discussion: The importance of conservation, here and at our future home.

Psychology

Discussion – Planning for the psychological impact to our migrated society, or even the ones that decided to stay home.

Location 1

Discussion on – Where do we go?  Space Station, Mars, Venus, Titan, the Moons?

Life Support Systems

The importance of preserving our biological needs and keeping Earth like conditions, as close as possible, a reality on a another world!

House Cleaning

Discussion – Global Warming, Food shortage, and other topics of concern. Do we address these first before venturing to the stars?

Exoplanets – They’re there, and they are waiting for us…!

An Extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is a planet which was detected beyond our local solar system.  These planets have the potential of having existing life, or could be canidate for future colonization and terraforming.  Begin to share your thoughts on this subject.

Education portal – Our future is them

This section is for discussion on educating and improving science awareness to all our children for the long tasks that lie ahead of them.  Please share your thoughts in a positive light as we discuss and plan what it will take to set their path on a challenging road.

Politics of Space 2

This section is dedicated to the discussion of space advocacy politics.  Our major funding does come from government sources.   The questions, “is this the right funding, what is too little, what is too much”, or “can NASA or other organizations thrive on the budgets they have now”?.   Feel free to jump and express your thoughts and feelings.  Because this topic can get very heated, we ask that you please refrain from vulgarly language since this is a rated-G site :-) .

Thanks – Cheers!

Site News – Waiting in the Wings…

Greetings colonists!

10/3/09 – I have a much more robust Bulletin Board for Blogging, waiting in the wings.  This will help compensate for overloaded posting, should it start to occur in the months to come.  I may ask a favor of several of you to join as beta testers once I have the Beta Site fully up, which is still weeks away.  Please check this section for future, upcoming site news, system changes and availability due to needed maintenance!

Asteroid explosion over Indonesia – Oct 8th 2009

Incredible this has been barely noticed by the American Media.  The importance of what it represents is a “tiny” fraction example of the risk we live with, everyday.

This article, being shown on “Telegraph.co.uk” relates what happen in early October when an Asteroid hitting our atmosphere exploded with the force of 3 Hiroshima Bombs just 20 miles above Sea level over Indonesia.  It was only 10 meters long.   Hardly any media coverage or discussion was shared in this, even though it set off alot of Nuclear Explosion detectors throughout that side of the hemisphere.

Our Earth is our island, our home, our single place of existence.  If we don’t take the actions needed, and soon, to create the Life boat needed to safe guard our existance, it’s only a matter of time before nature and history catches up with us.  We need at least, a second home to call our own.  We need to colonize space.  It’s up to us to put it in motion.  If we wait for a catastrophe to happen to justify the need for space colonization, that disaster could destroy us all before we even had a chance to try.

Transportation

transportation 

How do we get there?  

Before you get overwhelmed with this idea, and the magnitude it implies, think back to your history books on how the colonists or sea faring travelers traveled from one point to another. 

  • What mode of transportation did they use, (e.g. a clipper ship, etc)?
  • How was their vehicle powered, (e.g. the wind, etc)?
  • What survival provisions did they need to accomplish this task?

Now, just looking at just the few I mentioned here, ask yourself how do we answer these same kinds of questions for a space faring nation.

The longer the travel, the bigger the ship.

Jump in, start the engines, and let’s get this think-tank machine started :-)

Cheers!

Project Management

Such a large and long term initiative on a global scale not only includes extensive thought, planning, design and determination, but also very careful and well-thought out Project Planning.  That’s where Project Management comes in!

Project Management Work breakout structure timescales we’re looking at here can very well run into decades, years, or longer even.

This would be based on all the complexities needed to cover dependencies, our past at technological advancements, and our progress as a people in investing, contributing and implementing the time and commitment needed to make such an endeavor possible.

Please us this section to propose long-term templates of approach in a Project Manager’s point-of-view, on what you think it will take in order to make  something like this achievable or not.   Wouldn’t it be great to say, it took the foresight of an experienced Project Manager to start the foundation to take us to the stars and beyond?   Granted, many space organizations already have these groups of project manager teams that try to take on this type of thought-provoking task, but many of them are limited by the constraints from the industries and worlds they work in.

You’re not!  

Be creative, be daring, be dynamic, use your own powerful success formulas from your project management experiences here, today, to make a difference for us all!

Good luck!  Now, let’s start to take this on, and make the PMI Institute, proud!

:-)

Cheers!
