Many environmentalists think going into space detracts from solving
problems here on Earth. Many astrophysicists feel environmentalism
hampers their exploration and settlement of space. Actually
environmentalism and space exploration have one and the same
objective, argues leading astro-biologist Professor Charles
Cockell: to ensure humanity has a home.
Cockell calls for a fusion of the two movements as the only way
forward. The technologies we develop to live sustainably on Earth,
such as wind and solar power, will also establish humanity in
space. The exploration of space will provide new resources and
skills for the protection of the Earth's environment. For example,
studying extreme environments on Earth is helping us to look for
life on Mars and satellites orbiting Earth are helping track
hurricanes and protect people from natural disasters.
There are many books on environmentalism and many on space faring.
"Space On Earth "is the first to provide a new vision of humanity's
future bringing these two goals together.
