The Venus Project-Space

I have to admit that I am a sci-fi fan/geek. I love Star Trek and Star Wars. I remember when Star War came out. I was six year old. My parents took us to the drive-in to see it. I was grounded and had to turn around in the seat because I wasn't allow to see it. Little did anyone realize I could see it in the back windshield. That night my love affair with space began. Even today, my son and I have a Star Wars marathon every year. Star Trek is the basic staple in my viewing diet. I read Arthur C. Clarke, Gene Roddenberry, Isaac Asimov, Ron Hubbard, and any other sci-fi writer I can get my hands on. I love the idea of a whole universe out there that defies complete explanation and our feeble attempt to explore its wonders. I am in awe of Stephen Hawking. To have those ideas in your mind would be an incredible gift. I read his book, A Brief History of Time, not to mention seeing Stephen Hawking's Universe. I must mention Michio Kaku who is another genius that must be listed here. His book Physics of the Impossible is a must read for any serious sci-fi fan.

Can you imagine how far humans could go if money were no object? If you have seen Star Trek, you will notice that society on Earth no longer uses currency. People desire to learn, explore and study for the benefit of humankind. Everyone benefits from the advancement of science, art and literature. They can't understand the concept of a society ruled by money and greed.

With that introduction, I would like to post a short video where Jacque Fresco explains how man would explore, study and learn more about the final frontier.





Space stations provide the advantages of a gravity-free research environment. They can be entirely automated and self-contained to permit maintenance and self-repair without human intervention. These space stations would be able to monitor the earth's resources, as well as facilitate further research in the fields of meteorology and astronomy, work that is often difficult on Earth due to atmospheric interference.
