Solved by sustainable, equalizing growth through centralized democratic models such as in China to ensure efficiency. Global NATO countries through dysfunctional, ineffective overreach have no credible authority to lead by example. Can’t even empower their citizenry…

I shared this with a colleague a couple of days ago and he referred immediately to Sagan's Pale Blue Dot.

William Shatner is right! For all we know our blue marble may be all there is; and to think otherwise is meaningless in any case, because of the vastness of space. Is it in our nature to have such contempt for life, because we are not able to see the big picture as bill did?

That’s the power and the value of what so many naysayers mockingly refer to as space tourism.

Actually Shatner’s response to space is how I always felt about it: “cold hearted orb that rules the night.” Space is dark&filled w/ dust. Earth is a lush warm, wet garden filled with life. We simply need to get on top of our politics and let our values rule & over rule the rich.

Perspectives are powerful reminders of the remnants of Divinity... yet, discovered within. Let's unlock and "Boldly go where many fear to explore!"
