increasing awareness

If you want to try to educate and bring more of the population into the benefits and possibilities of the space economy, get one of your magazines into a barnes and knoble, where bored people that currently have no interest in space may stumble upon it in the reading section while they are waiting for someone.

Something on the order of 500 million people around the world are interested in taking a trip into space. Something like 5 million could afford to do so. Our major challenge is to make the destination resorts in orbit, at all, and then reduce the governmental interference to the point where they are affordable to many.

If you walk out of the magazine section and over to the children's books, you'll find that the work of selling space is already being done at a very young age. Children naturally want to know about dinosaurs and space - where we come from and where we are going.

To the extent that I want to educate some people about some stuff, the exceptionally bored aren't really the ones I'm looking for. The ones willing to go to some effort to show up at a theater and watch a film, perhaps. Thus the documentary film project "Destination Resorts in Orbit." la; ▶ Reply to This
