Haroon Oqab presents Kepler Space University

Abstract

Haroon Oqab will give us a detailed view of Kepler Space University. KSU is dedicated to the expansion of human civilization from Earth into space. We believe this is necessary, both to acquire resources – based on the Law of Space Abundance to provide the fundamental needs of preserving peace and prosperity for humankind on this planet – and to extend life through our solar system and beyond. Our name honors Johannes Kepler, whose findings on planetary motion in the early 17th Century formed the basis for the scientific discipline he called “celestial physics.” Our aim is to support research, human space exploration, and the development of space resources through sustainable and responsible stewardship. The KSU faculty members include experienced scientists, space engineers, professors, managers, experts in space law and policy, and an international collection of researchers in technical and non-technical space-related fields, all who will personalize courses and programs for scholars’ career needs within the expanding global Space Community to address the challenges of the 21st Century. The mission of Kepler Space University is to benefit society and advance human knowledge and expertise. The University is dedicated to the expansion of human civilization from Earth to Space. KSU is committed to discovery, preservation and dissemination of knowledge, educating the next generation of leaders, and the development of space exploration, commercialization, and settlement.
