SUMMARY:The booming new space economy - Adriano V. Autino
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe new space economy is booming at increasing pace\, since the first years of 21st Century. The sector moved first steps\, from 1997 to 2004\, when about 20 companies competed to win the X-Prize. The $10 million Ansari XPRIZE was conceived and funded by the philanthropists Peter Diamandis and Gregg Maryniak\, with the purpose of reducing the risk and cost of going into space\, incentivizing the creation of a reliable\, reusable\, privately funded manned spacecraft\, so as to finally make private space travel commercially viable. Before the Ansari XPRIZE\, spaceflight was the sole responsibility of governments. Space tourism was considered too dangerous and expensive for the general public Space exploration was neither possible nor affordable for the private sector. The 27 September and October 4 2004\, Scaled Composites won the X-Prize: it’s vehicle SpaceShipOne had flown 2 times over 100 km altitude in one week\, piloted by Mike Melvill and Brian Binnie. That was the trigger. Low cost access to space was demonstrated\, and many brave entrepreneurs and investors started to work and push the new space economy to grow up. 2015 can be considered the second key milestone\, when Elon Musk and its company Space X\, demonstrated the reusability of the rockets’ first stage. A new space company\, Space X is now leader of the launch market worldwide\, having downsized the cost of the orbital launches from $50.000 / Kg to current $1.500 / Kg. When fully reusable orbital vehicles will be available (Starship)\, we can expect a further downsizing of the cost to orbit\, at $100/Kg. and less. The global value of the space economy is now worth about $0.5 trillion\, and likely will reach $1.5 trillions before 2030. The space economy is leading the global economy development\, and demonstrates more and more to be the sole sustainable development\, in this first half of the 21st Century. This lecture covers the past\, the present and the future of the space economy\, providing a comprehensive look on the industry and growing market.\n \nA short bio\n\nAdriano Vittorio Autino\, born in Moncrivello (VC\, Italia)\, is co-founder and former President of the Space Renaissance Initiative\, since 2010 Space Renaissance International (SRI)\, an inter-cultural non-profit association\, whose mission is the opening of the space frontier: low-cost access to space\, space tourism\, industrialization of the geo-lunar space\, use of near Earth asteroids\, and the full development of space economy. Adriano is diplomed in Industrial Electronics\, acting since 1971 as a software and system engineer\, then project manager and entrepreneur in the field of real-time automation systems. His insatiable curiosity and the desire to engage in frontier fields have led him to work in the aerospace environment\, and to devise and develop an integrated software system\, supporting the systems engineering and the project lifecycle management processes. Adriano authored and co-authored several books\, papers and articles on the theme of civilization expansion into the outer space. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/LdgY34EpINs\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/524620919600099 \nAdriano Autino’s book “A greater world is possible” is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/greater-world-possible-expansion-civilization/dp/1727889924

SUMMARY:Celebrating (and Continuing) Women’s Contributions to Our Push for the Stars - Priscilla Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPotentially half of the world’s coming contributions toward a human presence on Mars could lie in the hands of women. They will surely help us get there – but – in order to get the full picture of how we got to this point\, and to encourage future contributions\, we should make clearly known our recognition of the contributions they’ve already made.\nThis presentation will share and celebrate several “modern” key female contributors. It will include an offering of their backgrounds\, hurdles\, motivations\, and contributions; presented through both word and art. Images will include special selections from a new art collection highlighting these space luminaries in portraits; portraits with unusual storytelling approaches\, but using very classic and embracing styles. Included will be women who have made contributions from Astronomy to Engineering\, from Apollo program seamstresses to astronauts; from people who are household names\, to those with names few are familiar with. Highlighted will be the encouragement and assistance these achievers and luminaries offered from family and friends\, both male and female. “No man…(or woman – OR GREAT ENDEAVOR)… is an island”. Examples of the importance of reaching out and encouraging all potential contributors and allies will be shared. Our progress towards a human presence on Mars is not to be viewed as inevitable. It is not inevitable without contributions and support from all. The presentation will close with a call to encourage\, assist\, and invest in future contributions from women.\n \nAn essential bio\n\nPriscilla Thomas shares the wonder that exists where space & soul collide. Her art has been featured in books & in magazines\, including Astronomy Magazine’s 50 Greatest Cosmic Scenes edition. She has presented at the Space Renaissance International Fair in Berlin\, Germany; and at the Mars Society’s International Convention. Her art was shared at the month-long “Space and Soul Together” solo show. She has multiple pieces on loan\, including a piece displayed at Lowell Observatory. She’s also attended and covered multiple space launches\, and numerous NASA media exclusive open house events. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/N5nkQT2Udsk?feature=share\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/492867043042564

SUMMARY:Island Zero - the SPACE Project
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nIn 2013 Jerry Stone set up The SPACE Project – (Study Project Advancing Colony Engineering) – at the British Interplanetary Society\, to update the concept from the 1970s of a 10\,000-person space habitat at the EarthMoon L5 location. Jerry started the project not by setting goals or saying what topics they should cover\, but by asking the team members to come up with questions that would need to be answered as they progressed. He put the first one to the team himself: “All habitat designs have assumed that they will be rotated to simulate 1g\, but do we need 1g? How about 0.9g\, 0.8g or even less? There would be less stress on the structure\, meaning it wouldn’t need as much material for its construction; there would also be less stress on its inhabitants – on their cardiovascular system\, their muscles and their skeletal framework. Over time\, they grow taller to a degree\, and we’d have to take account of this in the architecture.” “However an associated question is; How low can a value of gravity be before it becomes a problem rather than an advantage?” The answer to that is; “Nobody knows”\, because it’s never been done! Another question is; “We wouldn’t start construction of an Island One habitat straight off. We’d need the assembly plant; before that\, the manufacturing facilities; and before that\, somewhere to house the construction team. How could that be done?” This presentation describes a development from The SPACE Project that came to be termed “Island Zero” which looks at a way of investigating low-gravity structures\, and would also also vastly aid the main habitat construction – Jerry has referred to them as “Portakabins in space”. Yet they would be relatively lowcost\, and could have many uses apart from building Island One – and larger – structures. \n\n \n\nA short bio \nJerry Stone is the founder of Spaceflight UK\, a Fellow of the British Interplanetary Society\, former President of The Mars Society UK and a Freelance Space Presenter. He is member of the SRI Board of Directors\, as well. Jerry gave his first space talk at school back in 1969 when he was 14; now he does this for a living. He has spoken on space topics at many venues\, including The Edinburgh Festival; various Mars Society Conferences; Oxford University; The Palace of Westminster; The Royal Institution; The Royal Observatory; and a rock festival! He presents space workshops in schools across the UK\, inspiring pupils with a range of activities. He is developing a new workshop that will allow pupils to simulate what the ESA’s ExoMars rover will do on Mars\, investigating soil samples for evidence of life. He is often interviewed on TV and radio\, covering space mission and astronomy events. He was also interviewed for Blue Peter about how rockets work! He is a space author. He is described as “One of the leading speakers on space exploration”. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/Bo_ituoCV28\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1248924719301957

SUMMARY:The Sociology of the Lunar Settlement - with Riccardo Campa
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe possibility that\, in a not too distant future\, a human settlement could be established on the Moon becomes increasingly real. Sociological knowledge invites us not to underestimate social problems that could arise in a dangerous lunar environment. Issues of social order and effective collaboration among settlers from different cultures may be particularly sensitive. Physical and physiological stressors caused by the lunar environment can amplify the psychological and sociological stressors that characterize any work environment. Where even air is an essential and rare good\, sabotage by individuals or non-integrated groups can be lethal for the entire community. The emergence of unwanted phenomena such as anomie and “free riding” is possible. Recommendations from the sociological literature on space exploration— particularly with regard to selection and training of space crews—may still prove useful in preventing conflicts when the human presence on the Moon is limited to a base of a few dozen astronauts and technicians. This study suggests that selection should take into account not only the professional skills and mental status of the settlers but also their degree of “sociological imagination.”\nA short bio\nRiccardo Campa (born May 4\, 1967 in Mantua) is Professor of Sociology at the Jagiellonian  University of Cracow. He posses two Master of Arts degrees\, in Political Science and Philosophy\, from the University of Bologna and a Ph.D. in Sociology from the Nicholas Copernicus University in Torun\, Poland. Prior to becoming an academic\, Campa was a police lieutenant with Guardia di Finanza and a Journalist for La Voce di Mantova and the newsmagazine Il Mondo. Campa has authored or edited many books. Among them Epistemological Dimensions of Robert Merton’s Sociology (2001)\, Il filosofo e’ nudo (2001)\, Etica della scienza pura (2007)\, and Mutare o perire: La sfida del transumanesimo (2010). He is also chief editor of the academic journal Divenire. Rassegna di studi interdisciplinari sulla tecnica e il postumano. His articles frequently appear in MondOperaio\, an Italian socialist journal. He founded and is currently president of the Italian Transhumanist Association\, served as director of the World Transhumanist Association (2006-2008)\, and is Fellow of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies.\n\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/k9y5qmEuw0g\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2986138721680788

SUMMARY:Outer Space Activities and the Future of City
DESCRIPTION:We create and shape our surroundings. Thereafter\, our surroundings shape us. \nNew cities are emerging\, established towns are growing and expanding\, and many metropolises are merging to become megalopolises around the globe. And urban infrastructures around the world are coping hard to adjust to new pressures including the huge population migration from rural to urban regions\, climate change effects\, and vital resources\, all in an effort to sustain and enhance the quality of life of the citizen. Providing a safe\, productive and nurturing environment for the city dweller is the overarching directive and prime aim of every city management. Enhancing and safely delivering a range of cradle-to-grave activities to sustain the quality of life of the citizen including incorporating agile\, responsive systems for health and welfare\, economic opportunities\, leisure safety and security are all part of the current and evolving Smart City paradigm.\n \n\nJust as the space exploration community is expanding our presence into the solar system and beyond\, a group of thought leaders\, including visionary policy makers\, architects\, engineers and allied professionals are peering at Earth\, studying co-relations of various dynamic systems including land use\, air and sea agents\, and finding new ways to report and apply the data from space-based assets\, for the immediate betterment of humanity. Our cosmopolitan cities\, urban and suburban landscapes and dwellings are already using space assets including crew on orbiting space stations and allied technologies to monitor\, inform and enhance quality of life. Orbiting spacecraft also help predict\, alert and even prevent hazards\, both natural and manmade\, from affecting populations adversely. Future cities and their amenities including active adaptive and agile response systems that use artificial intelligence are already shaping the built environment. \nA short bio\nMadhu Thangavelu conducts the ASTE 527 graduate Space Exploration Architectures Concept Synthesis Studio in the Department of Astronautical Engineering within the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California. He also teaches the Arch599 Extreme Environment Habitation Design Seminar in the School of Architecture\, where he is a graduate thesis adviser. Mr.Thangavelu’s educational background is in Architecture(Masters in Building Science\, USC School of Architecture 1989) and in Engineering(Bachelors in Science and Engineering\, National Institute of Technology\, Calicut\, India\, 1980).

SUMMARY:Water in space: The third underground.
DESCRIPTION:Water in space: The third underground.\nMars Underground\, Moon Underground\, and the “water Underground”\nA green environment is paramount important\, in any space habitat. Learning how vegetable life works and reproduce (or not reproduce) itself is a key challenge\, on the roadmap to space settlement.\nEqual attention should be paid to water. As human life couldn’t exist without green environments around\, to feed our body and our mind\, we couldn’t live without big volumes of water\, and the life contained on them. We will need lakes and seas in space habitats\, be they large O’Neill infrastructures or villages on planetary surface or underground.\nWhich researches are actually conducted on the above subjects? What should be made more?\n \nAn essential bio\nDinis Afonso Ribeiro investigated connections between oceans and space exploration at the scientific and industrial levels focusing on novel ways to develop permanent human settlements.\nThe ideas have been developed very gradually since 1985 and first published on this subject in 1988 in the US\, and in 1990 in Europe.\nDinis got his Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)\, Political Science and Government at the University of Austin\, Texas.\nHe keeps researching for a PhD in Political Science at Lusophone University of Humanities and Technologies. The theme is a comparative study of the mechanisms underlying the development of national space agencies in different countries. New models of organization of scientific exploration and industrial development of outer space. Comparative study of activities in various “Extreme Environments” (polar areas\, deserts\, underwater activities\, aeronautics\, space) in various countries.\nDinis’s skills and knowledge include: Scientific exploration and industrial development projects in “Extreme Environments” (Deserts\, Polar regions\, Disaster areas\, Sea\, Oceans\, Underwater activities\, Aeronautics\, Space).

SUMMARY:Creating a Global Policy Framework that will Enable the Creation of Communities Beyond Earth - with Steven Wolfe
DESCRIPTION:There is a great deal of earnest work to be done if humankind is ever to achieve the ultimate goal of expanding beyond Earth and establishing new branches of civilization throughout our solar system. Certainly\, there are many technical issues that need to be addressed. But just as important are the international policies that can help to spur us toward a space future. In this talk\, Steven Wolfe\, President\, and Co-founder of the Beyond Earth Institute will discuss the range of space policy issues that\, if properly addressed\, will not only remove barriers to eventual space settlement but will help to propel the global community more quickly to reaching that goal. Steve Wolfe will also discuss his book\, The Obligation\, which has been a source of inspiration to many who are committed to a space migration future. \nA short bio \nSteven Wolfe is the President and Co-Founder of the Beyond Earth Institute\, a think tank whose mission is to create and sustain a legal and policy framework that enables economically vibrant communities beyond Earth. Steve is also Deputy Executive Director for Global Spaceport Alliance and partner at CWSP International. He serves on the Board of Director of the Global Entrepreneurship Network for Space. He is on the Board of Editors for the Journal of Space Philosophy. Steve served in the U.S. House of Representatives as executive director of the Congressional Space Caucus and drafted the Space Settlement Act of 1988. The bill was signed into law as part of the NASA Authorization bill. Steve is the author of “The Obligation: A Journey to Discover Human Purpose on Earth and in the Cosmos”.

SUMMARY:Astropolitics
DESCRIPTION:SRI supports peaceful\, civilian expansion into outer space. But there is another point of view about space and expansion into it\, not just as peaceful. Geopolitics is the study of international relations in consideration of geography – that is\, how human as well as physical geography affects the relations among states and state-like organizations. The term Astropolitics is already established for indicating the extension of geopolitics to outer space.\nSpace is already playing a relevant\, if not decisive\, role in the competition among nations for predominance on Earth. Its importance in the current Ukrainian war is well recognizable. But space has been connected to weapons since the very first flight of an human made object beyond the atmosphere. The Outer Space Treaty banned the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space\, but its use for information collection\, a.k.a. spying\, as well as military communication and other purposes relevant to the defense area\, went on anyway. Geopolitical analysts have been considering space in the competition for power among nations for decades. It is widely recognized that the theories devised by Alfred T. Mahan in the XIX century about sea power can be now extended to space. Competition among nations on strategic locations and resources in space has already started. A significant international collaboration among USA\, its allies and Russia took place across the century change\, but in the current situation it is coming to an end. China has always been kept out of it and is now aggressively pursuing its own goals. Can humanity expand into space without bringing its rivalries there? We hope not\, but likely the pursuit of power will be the main engine of expansion.\n \nA short bio\nAlberto Cavallo is an Electrical Engineer\, graduated at the Politecnico di Torino in 1985. He began his activity with designing electric systems in Fiat Engineering\, the engineering and construction company of the FIAT Group\, moving soon to control and automation systems in the same company. He was involved in all business areas of the company\, which included revamping and new projects of car factories for the FIAT Group as well as large infrastructures\, power and cogeneration plants for external clients. Among the projects of that time were the new FIAT factories in Melfi and Pratola Serra\, the high speed railways Torino-Milano and Bologna-Firenze\, the district heating system of Torino Sud\, combined cycle power plants for several hundred megawatts in Italy and in Brazil. Since Fiat Engineering was transferred from the FIAT Group to a new EPC group and then merged with a large EPC company in Milan\, he has been involved in large oil and gas and petrochemical projects all over the world. Besides his professional activity\, he has always taken part in several cultural activities. He was a member of the Associations of Alumni of the Liceo Classico Vittorio Alfieri of Turin\, active in promoting humanistic culture as well as its connection to the technical and scientific area. He manages his own website www.eurinome.it (in Italian only) about philosophy\, science and politics/geopolitics. Due to this he got in contact with Adriano Autino and his TDF\, then becoming one of the founding members of Space Renaissance International. Besides several papers in his professional area he has written several articles for his own site\, for TDF and SRI\, coauthoring the book “Three Theses for the Space Renaissance” with Adriano Autino and Patrick Q. Collins. He is currently member of the Board of SRI. \nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/361185362796181\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/PzFkoR1z7Pk

SUMMARY:The Cosmic Zoo Hypothesis and the Expected Diversity of Planetary Alien Habitats
DESCRIPTION:The Cosmic Zoo hypothesis states that if life originates on a planetary body it will eventually evolve to become complex\, meaning plant- and animal-like\, if the planet or moon stays habitable long enough (in general billions of years). Multiple biochemically pathways have been invented through natural selection to arrive at Earth´s biosphere as it is now. If we screen the known planets and moons in our Solar System\, and also the thousands of planets outside of our Solar System\, we can derive a subset of these planets that could harbor life\, some of them life as we don´t know it and a few of them possibly complex life.\n \nA short bio\nDirk Schulze-Makuch received his Ph.D. in geosciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Afterwards he took up a fellowship at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center\, worked as Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at El Paso\, and later as Associate and Full Professor at Washington State University. In 2010 he received the Friedrich-Wilhelm Bessel Award from the Humboldt Foundation for extraordinary achievements in theoretical biology. Since 2013 he is a faculty member at the Technical University Berlin in Germany and holds a professorship for planetary habitability and astrobiology\, leading the Astrobiology Research Group. He still is Adjunct Professor at Washington State University and also an Associate Member of SETI. Dirk published more than 200 papers and 8 books in the field of planetary habitability and astrobiology\, including the 3rd edition of Life in the Universe: Expectations and Constraints and The Cosmic Zoo: Complex Life on Many Worlds\, first published in 2017. Since 2016 Dirk is president of the German Astrobiological Society and council member of the European Astrobiology Network. He gave interviews in scientific television documentaries such as National Geographic and Discovery Channel (USA)\, NHK-TV (Japan)\, ARD and RTL (Germany)\, and reports about his research appeared in media and news outlets such as Science\, Popular Science\, Discovery Magazine\, New Scientist\, World Science\, Natural History Magazine\, BBC\, CNN\, MSNBC\, etc.\nMore information can be found on his website https://www.searchforlifeintheuniverse.com/\n\n\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1276600586213700/\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/4J37eAkELmM

SUMMARY:The hunt for life on Mars\, with Ulrich Köhler
DESCRIPTION:Is there\, or was there life anywhere else out there in the Solar System? This question could indeed be answered in our time. The spacefaring nations and organizations sent and send super high-tech spacecraft to our neighboring planet Mars where scientists think the life had good chances to exist in the past\, or even today. They observe the planet’s surface and its atmosphere from orbit\, and they sniff for biosignatures with mobile robotic devices on the ground. Samples taken today will be brought to the laboratories on Earth in about ten years.\n \nA brief bio\nUlrich Köhler is a planetary geologist at DLR’s Institute of Planetary research in Berlin. He studied Geology in Munich and spent a year for his diploma thesis at Universidade Estadual Paulista\, Rio Claro (SP\, Brasil). At DLR he started 1991 with the analysis of multispectral imaging data from NASA’s Galileo probe passing the Moon twice and arriving 1995 at the Jovian system\, transmitting image data from the Galilean Satellites. 1999-2000 he was at Brown University (Providence\, RI) on a NASA grant. Returning to DLR\, besides the Moon his focus then was Mars where DLR has the famous High Resolution Stereo Camera in orbit on ESA’s Mars Express orbiter. Ulrich is the coordinator of the institute’s Education and Public Outreach activities.\n\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/5331930816902399/\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/hCEgPkc8QCc
