Welcome to Pandora!


We cannot let ignorance, shortsightedness, lack of a quality education about the real world, and violent stupidity, prevent us from developing a space program. We need to create a new frontier to explore and harvest the rich resources found in space, e.g. minerals on the asteroids and on Mars -- which if mined in space would prevent further environmental destruction that might be caused by mining of the last few resources on Earth.

We are like fruit flies in a big jar of strawberry jam -- and almost all the jam has been consumed. We need to find a new jar! Mars is (and the asteroids) that new jar.

Will the dismal prediction made by some come true -- humans will probably be extinct within the next 100 years due to overpopulation, environmental destruction and climate change? Will we like the people on Easter Island experience a crash of civilization, or will we -- before it is too late -- become a space traveling species?

After watching the video, scroll back up to the eye, and click on it to begin...

YouTube keeps changing, and one annoying thing is the tendency to change the html code for "embedded videos" to force people to view the videos at the YouTube homesite. You would think that they should just remove the ability to embed videos if they want us so badly to see them at their site....

For now, ignore the video if you cannot see it -- I am working on it -- and just follow the instructions on this page...
