ModeratorHello Master Trainers…
Has anyone read the ‘Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution’…. I think it was first published a while ago.
This is the ‘overview’ from Amazon website…
“Using interviews with and writings by 29 astronauts and cosmonauts, Frank White shows how experiences such as circling the Earth every 90 minutes and viewing it from the moon have profoundly affected our space travelers’ perceptions of themselves, their world, and the future. He shows how the rest of us, who have participated imaginatively in these great adventures, have also been affected psychologically by them. He provides a powerful rationale for space exploration and settlement, describing them as the inevitable next steps in the evolution of human society and human consciousness, as the activities most likely to bring a new perspective to the problems of life on Earth.
White goes on to consider the possible consequences of a human presence in space, both for the pioneers who settle there and for those who remain on Earth. He imagines how having a permanent perspective from outer space will affect our politics, our religion, our social relations, our psychology, our economics, and our hard sciences. He confronts the possibility of rebellion by a space colony and of contact with extraterrestrial beings. And, finally, he makes it clear that our fate is in our own hands, that we will shape our future in space effectively only by fashioning a new human space program, free of excessive nationalism and dedicated to the peaceful exploration of the space frontier.”Am wondering about both the growing human presence on Earth as well as in space…
Do you recommend any good reads? Am looking for a few good books to read on a long plane flight coming up…
Thanks
Gina

KeymasterOne of the books which is a landmark on the field is the Alien Agenda by Jom Marrs
Another one is Alien Invasion How To Defend Earth
For a website on the economic space developments check out Solari Report , scroll down to the thumbnail related to Space Developments and click on it. You can read the related articles without being a member of the website.
There is a lot of fluff going on around related to this subject. Aliens coming to get us or conversely to help us, danger to planet earth, etc, etc.
Very few understand really the importance of space developments and differentiate between the fluff and the reality itself. Be careful and filter correctly.
I hope this helps.
