INSPIRING. INFINITE. FUTURE.
I am sailing down to Antarctica, onboard Seabourn Venture, where I will be until December 15, photographing penguins, leopard seals, orcas, glaciers, and whatever beauty exist in this phenomenal region only found on Earth. The next time I will be back at the office, Christmas will be right around the corner. So let me take this moment to summarize this past year at the hashtagFUTUREofSPACE: 13 articles, 57 interviews, and close to 2,000 subscribers. WOW! My goal for 2022 was to start a conversation, to go beyond the science and technology and focus on the Human and Nature story of going to Space.
Why does it matter? Because despite what many feel, we are not leaving the Earth. We are expanding, diversifying, and elevating the human experience.We must rise above our differences and give legitimacy to these feelings of abandonment. By creating a dialogue that is not limited to a destination, but rather protects our humanity and facilitates the future of our species within the context of outer space and for the benefit of the Earth, we can then work together at moving forward in unity.
For 2023, FUTURE of SPACEwill not only continue with insightful writings and inspiring interviews, but we will also start bringing people together, in real life, in ways that will support our vision of what is a remarkable and empowering human experience. (An upcoming website will feature dates and locations along with all the articles, and interviews.)
