The Next Step
Phase1
Agriculture: enabled humanity the luxury of time to flourish in an ever technological expanding chain of events that have led us here to the days of our modern century . That was the change of yesterday, the change of today must continue, Simply put.
Phase2
Global unification: Ether on the pinnacle of human destruction by a greater threat than our own or on the miracle of peace and plenty.
Survival of the fittest: "Increase and multiply, and fill the earth" - Genesis 1:28: In the age past this was relevant to all societies on earth in keeping the human races alive, today this evolutionary trait or commandment is one of the many ways that will be humanities demise, over population and consumption of natural resources used to be something that there was plenty of, now though, we are getting close to maximum expansion. This is what has happened to islands inhabited by humans and other civilizations that have disappeared in our past. Could the rest of the world be near? "In just a few centuries, the people of Easter Island wiped out their forest, drove their plants and animals to extinction, and saw their complex society spiral into chaos and cannibalism. Are we about to follow their lead?" -Jared Diamond. The next step to avoid this is simple, expansion or destruction.
Colonization: Expansion is only beneficial to those that win, this has been seen in the colonization of the new world where Europe was over crowded and the Americas allowed for the expansion of trade and resources. The question still remains, were does humanity expand once the world has reached its limits? Simple, colonization of other plants or continuous war from societies fighting one another for the same reasons just spoken about. Colonizing is another one of humanities great triumphs but with it comes the curse of war and yet another method for humanities destruction. "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein. New worlds is the brightest and most logical answer.
Looking to the stars: In order to progress further in human growth as a species we need to start focusing on the next location we can expand to and gain resources to continue the legacy of the human race. Lets face it, we need to start now in order to be ready later. Colonization of other planets will increase humanities survival rate. Over the last few million years or when god has willed it, many species on a global level have suffered mass extinction all the way from climate changes to asteroids colliding with earth. There are a million ways humanity could be wiped out naturally or celestially not considering our own methods of self extermination. Being able to colonize other bodies in space allows us as humanity to have a fighting chance in the long run and not to become victim as so many other organisms have succumbed to in there own environment. With this said, the people of Earth need to start focusing and Investing into a method of transport, space technology.
Sailing in space: Space today is no longer in the hands of countries with the organization and money to undertake the challenge of creating space technology. Now the movement into exploration of space has become privatized by many companies around the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pr ... _companies). This is good, this speeds up the process and improves how far and when we can push further into space. Although this is an improvement, there is plenty of room for more. Investing more into the effectiveness and efficiency of space travel will allow humanity to reap the rewards later on, the most obvious, human survival, and a few others like expansion into unimaginable resources, trade, waste disposal, and many other possibilities. Technologies such as traveling through space, leaving earths atmosphere, life support, resistance to radiation, reliability and increasing launch windows needs to be greatly improved. The problem is with all the "spin off" technologies, it is in our best interests stop trying to find short cuts for cheap and to start spending for better results. The world needs to start taking a more active role in traveling further into space and not viewing space for scientists entertainment only, but realize it is a need that will have to be faced. The sooner we meet humanities next step for survival the better off the world will be. Space = human survival which means that it is in common interest for all countries, cultures, religions and societies alike.
Political shout : The world should and needs to partake in this, reaching other worlds is not for a select few countries or a crazy scifi idea, it is for humanity, people need to know why improving our space technology is so vital and important, this is the opportunity to get the world involved in one common goal, it might not be a permanent unification, but it is towards something very important for us all and that needs to be pushed up and addressed by the governments of the worlds countries to come together and invest in traveling to new worlds and terraforming, making sure humanity has a new home to move to when this one becomes to over crowded. People will say they do not care, its never going to happen, how is it there problem, there not gonna be alive when it happens, and many other comments about investing into space. What will our children be saying when the world is on the brink of destruction or over populated, resources depleted? We need to start now, making this a big deal, all other interests aside, into days age this is the most important one. Who needs war when we have plenty of land a resources to go around on another planet? The colonization of new worlds will change the very ways of human societies for the better, more than we know.
In short: Agricultural allowed us to "civilize". Technology has allowed us to expand and give astronomical rise in population. Agriculture and rise in population also bred war for space and resources. We are now living in a world that is running out of space, technology has given us a key to succeed were other organisms have failed and become extinct. We have the chance to improve our human survival rate by expanding to the stars and giving humanity more land and resources = less war and more unification towards a common goal. The colonization of space. "... the goal isn't just scientific exploration ... it's also about extending the range of human habitat out from Earth into the solar system as we go forward in time ... In the long run a single-planet species will not survive ... If we humans want to survive for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, we must ultimately populate other planets. Now, today the technology is such that this is barely conceivable. We're in the infancy of it. ... I'm talking about that one day, I don't know when that day is, but there will be more human beings who live off the Earth than on it. We may well have people living on the moon. We may have people living on the moons of Jupiter and other planets. We may have people making habitats on asteroids ... I know that humans will colonize the solar system and one day go beyond." –Michael D. Griffin. Let us start spreading the word and improving the chances for humanity now instead of later. For the record, even the worse ideas can fill in the missing gaps to the best ones.
