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). Geopolitical studies\, focusing in industrial development and scientific policy. International politics. Space science\, technology and policy. Marine Science. Scientific diving. Underwater robotics.\n\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/pBdNllVS3T8\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/3332529477014060/

SUMMARY:The Fifth Season: the "Bingo" surprises of space
DESCRIPTION:Large public opinion usually thinks about space as a very difficult\, dangerous and unsafe environment. Recent and less recent catastrophes reminded to us how Earth can be unsafe\, causing the death of thousands people in few minutes. It is very urgent to bring to the public attention some benefits of space\, and points where space is easier\, safer and more convenient than Earth\, at least: \n\nEasy transport at zero gravity and zero attrition.\nLight space structures vs. heavy earthling ones.\nAll the light we have ever dreamed of!\nEarth is pregnant\, not sick!\nBoundless energy in space\, halved the demand of energy on Earth.\nHalved the possibilities of extinction of human kind.\nAn artificial orbiting house can move\, if something is coming to hit it.\nBeing out of the gravitational well: a higher degree of freedom.\nBooming economy vs. stagnation and decay.\n\nThis lecture outlines and proposes a proper outreach programme\, illustrating a good number of space eases and conveniences\, giving a glimpse of a possible life in outer space settlements. \n\n\nAdriano V. Autino – a short bio \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. \nA complete list of publications can be seen here\, and here. \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/HlSrtbxDpkY \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2341330536032773 \n“A greater world is possible” is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/greater-world-possible-expansion-civilization/dp/1727889924 \nNOTE: October 30th European time will revert to Solar time. Therefore the event time will be: \n20:00 UTC – 21:00 CET – 3pm US EDT – 12am US PDT – 20:00 UK

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

SUMMARY:ACES Worldwide\, vision and program
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance for Collaboration in the Exploration of Space (ACES Worldwide) has been established to both promote and enable innovative partnerships among space-related organizations around our home planet. The goal is to identify key areas of common interest in space exploration and development\, to explore opportunities to advance international collaboration in these areas\, and to help ensure that the outcomes of these efforts are demonstrably sustainable\, peaceful\, and maximally beneficial for all of humanity. This presentation summarizes the overall vision for ACES Worldwide\, the key space-faring issues this program will address\, and pivotal questions concerning “next steps” that could effectively advance this program. \nA native of Los Angeles\, Jim Crisafulli pursued joint undergraduate studies in Physics and Zoology at Harvey Mudd College and Pomona College in Claremont\, California. Following a twoyear assignment with the U.S. Peace Corps as a secondary school physics teacher in Fiji\, he enrolled in Claremont Graduate University to obtain a Master’s Degree in International Studies\, with special emphasis on the technologies and economies of Asia/Pacific communities. In 1978\, Jim was awarded a 3-year international research fellowship with the East-West Center in Honolulu\, where he continued to investigate technology development issues affecting Asia/Pacific communities. He subsequently held positions as an economic development specialist and program director for both the Honolulu Community Action Program (HCAP) and the Economic Development Corporation of Honolulu (EDCH). In 1988\, Jim joined the Hawaii State Government to serve as Space Program Projects Manager for the State Office of Space Industry (until its closure in May\, 1995)\, and subsequently served as Science & Technology Officer and Research & Development Coordinator for the State’s Dept. of Business\, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT) – during which he helped launch Hawaii’s Office of Aerospace Development (for which he served as Director until July 2017) to help advance diverse bilateral and multinational space activities – including the Japan-U.S. Science\, Technology & Space Applications Program (JUSTSAP)\, the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems (PISCES)\, and other programs designed to facilitate the research\, development\, testing and evaluation of innovative space-related technologies\, as well as professional training and aerospace education programs to promote both robotic and human missions to the Moon\, Mars and beyond. Jim now serves as President of the Alliance for Collaboration in the Exploration of Space (ACES Worldwide) – an innovative partnership of space-related organizations around the Earth that are promoting creative ways to advance public-private partnerships and multinational alliances that ultimately could help reduce the costs\, enhance the benefits\, and accelerate timetables for future space exploration and development missions engaging all of humankind! \nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/437462891470777/ \nFollow the livestream on the YouTube Space Renaissance channel: https://youtu.be/h3iTJghizO4

SUMMARY:COLMENA\, a new concept on lunar exploration
DESCRIPTION:We are stepping at the gates of a new era in space exploration\, one which will finally incorporate the inner solar system to society’s daily life and economics. The first step is the Moon\, and the asteroids will probably follow. The surface of those bodies presents special challenges for human and technological activities as well as resource exploitation. These challenges\, which include regolith\, extreme thermal amplitude\, high energy radiation and surface mineral mixing among others\, open the door to new operational approaches. COLMENA is the pathfinder of one such avenue: using swarms of micro-rovers for scientific exploration\, resource prospection or\, eventually\, mining The first COLMENA mission will deploy 5 microrovers (56 grams each) on the Moon surface by the end of this year\, flying on board a private spacecraft. In the talk I will briefly explain the context\, technical characteristics and objectives of the mission\, as well as its future.\n\nA short bio\nDr. Gustavo MEDINA TANCO is Professor at the Institute of Nuclear Sciences of UNAM in Mexico\, where he leads the group of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and is the Head of the Laboratory for Space Instrumentation\, LINX\, which he created in 2009. He has also created\, and is responsible for\, the National Laboratory for Space Access (LANAE) in state of Hidalgo\, Mexico\, which will start operation in 2022. He was for 10 years the science coordinator of the International JEM-EUSO Collaboration and member of its executive board and\, as such he lead the Mexican participation in the development of several instruments under the coordination of CNES\, NASA\, ASI and ROSCOSMOS. He implemented a platform for stratospheric ballooning of small science and engineering payloads which operates regularly from Mexico and has also flown in cooperation with CSBF-NASA.

SUMMARY:How to build a planet?
DESCRIPTION:This title is not a new project for terraforming Mars or a “Plan B” for the time after the climate catastrophe. The title describes the anachronistic activity of traditional globe making. Admittedly\, this craft seems out of time in times of Google Maps and GPS navigation. So why learn anything about traditional globe making? In my lecture I will present the work of my “Plantenkugel Manufaktur” founded in 2015. On the one hand I show a traditionally made Mars globe based on the fantastic map by Percival Lowell from 1905. Secondly a NASA based moon relief globe with hand painted albedo will be presented. Selected historical milestones of Martian and Lunar globes will be shown and the making of the two different types of globes will be looked at in detail. Since there are only a handful of traditionally working globe makers left in the world\, the manufacturing details can only be gathered with difficulty. After the lecture\, you will be able to create your own world – be it Mars\, Jupiter\, our Sun or the moons of Mars.\nA short bio\nSince 2017 Prof. Dr. Michael Plichta is Professor of experimental Psychiatry\, Dept. of Psychiatry\, Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy\, at the University Hospital in Frankfurt. NASA based Moon Globe with raised relief. From 2015 to 2016 he was Head of Laboratory\, University Hospital Zurich (USZ)\, Dept. of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Prof. Ulrich Schnyder). In 2015 Michael worked at the Establishment of the Planetenkugel Manufaktur (PKM) – First globe “Mars and its Canals”. In 2009 and 2010 he got his Post-Doc at Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH)\, Mannheim (Prof. Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg). Since 2004 to 2009 he was a PhD student\,  at Laboratory of Psychophysiology & Functional Imaging\, Department of Psychiatry\, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy\, University Hospital\, Würzburg\, PhD degree (“summa cum laude”). And since 200 to 2004 he made his Psychology studies\, at the University of Giessen\, Diploma in psychology\, University of Giessen.\n\n\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/JiLSeko39ss \nAlso click ‘going’ on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1465669497236928/

SUMMARY:Toward an Acceptable Framework for Off-Planet Resource Utilization\, with Wes Faires
DESCRIPTION:The Working Group on Space Resources under the United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN COPUOS)\, presents an opportunity for a legally binding instrument to develop under the auspices of the United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNOOSA)\, and do so in a manner favorable to space resource utilization for the private sector.The intended result of the Working Group\, as stated its 5 years workplan\, is to conclude discussions on the development of space resources followed with possible adoption by the United Nations General Assembly as a dedicated resolution or other action.This presentation draws a parallel to a similar scenario with regard to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)\, where a working group on Deep Sea-Bed resources\, executed via specific legal channels within the United Nations\, led to a legally binding instrument: The 1994 Agreement on Implementation\, resulting in a modification of the international framework governing ocean floor minerals. \n\n \n\nThe avenue utilized for the execution of the 1994 Agreement on Implementation for UNCLOS provides a course for legally binding instrument to develop via the Working Group on Space Resources. Such an instrument could serve to interpret and elaborate on ambiguities within the Outer Space Treaty framework\, while avoiding any parallels to the commercially harmful aspects of the top-down governance structure embedded within the International Seabed Authority. \nA short bio \nCharles Wesley Faires made his first entry into the archives of claims to property in Outer Space during college in 2003 when he recorded a 4 page Affidavit claiming ownership to the three stars of Orion’s Belt.  In 2006\, after graduating with a B.S. in Communications\, he made the decision to use this project as a tool obtain an answer from an official source on the legality of off-planet property claims under the Outer Space Treaty once and for all.  A formal letter campaign pinpointed the competent authorities for such matters within the U.S. State Department and the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs.  He made the decision to take the issue of formal confirmation on the compliance or violation of his Claim of Ownership to Orion’s Belt directly to the source of space law which would require participation in the U.N. Committee of Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNVIENNA) – as a private citizen.  While at the proceedings\, he approached the competent US authorities simply asking whether the claim\, in and of itself\, executed by a “natural person” stood in violation of the Outer Space Treaty – in the view of the competent authority on behalf of the U.S.\, there was no violation.  This paved the way for formal confirmation that nothing in the underlying documents is prohibited by domestic or treaty law\, clearing it for international legal use.  Condoleezza Rice’s signature upon a Claim of Ownership to the 3 stars of Orion’s Belt *executed after contact with the competent authority for space/treaty affairs* in November 2008 was the first formal confirmation on behalf of a State Party that private property rights were not patently unlawful under the Outer Space Treaty.  He has obtained multiple reaffirmations upon various such claims under the past 3 secretaries of state and is now looking to gain similar confirmation outside the U.S. \nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RujfUoLxqNc \nAlso click ‘going’ on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/546709283500826/

SUMMARY:Exploring the Role of Art in Advancing Space Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Art and Illustration play an important role in the world of aerospace engineering. Envisioning advanced aerospace concepts and operations facilitates the systems engineering process. Visually communicating such complex ideas also enhances public awareness\, understanding and engagement\, and inspires future generations.  I will show how I managed to blend art and engineering to great advantage throughout my technical career in aerospace engineering as well as my Hollywood consulting experience. I will also briefly describe the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA). The IAAA is an inclusive group of space artists who work in a very wide range of techniques and media. Our common bond is the love of astronomy\, science\, space exploration and all things related. I doubt there are many other groups on the planet quite like it.\nAldo Spadoni is an aerospace engineer and futurist with over 40 years of experience. He is a veteran of numerous advanced development programs for NASA\, the United States Air Force and Navy. He is a recipient of NASA’s Turning Goals Into Reality award for Reusable Launch Vehicle Development. Aldo created an award-winning simulation team at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. He is President and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA). He is an accomplished self-taught artist and concept designer with four US patents to his credit. Aldo’s consulting company\, Aerospace Imagineering\, specializes in the conceptual design\, visualization and prototyping of advanced technology concepts and products. As a Hollywood technical consultant and concept designer\, he supported the production of APOLLO 13\, SUPERNOVA\, STEALTH\, IRON MAN 1 & 2\, and other movie projects. He is currently the spacecraft technical advisor on the upcoming interstellar adventure film\, PERSEPHONE. Aldo’s personal goals are to promote STEAM education and create compelling positive visions of humanity’s spacefaring future.\n\n\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/JnHWwBz-2pw \nAlso click ‘going’ on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1026312348003530

SUMMARY:A greater world is possible! Adriano V. Autino presents his book
DESCRIPTION:“A greater world is possible!” represents a deep reflection about the state of civilization\, some possible futures and the deep moral implications of the great choices that civilization has to make. Very often such choices are driven by the evolution of social and international relationships\, rather than by a reasoned and motivated rationale. There is a big difference between United States and Europe in the perception of outer space\, as an area of possible expansion. However\, even where this discussion is far more advanced\, it is hard to overcome the old paradigm of space exploration for its own sake\, which has characterized the strategy of the world’s largest and most advanced space agency\, NASA. So much so that even NASA has often found itself needing to reinvent communication strategies\, aimed at not losing the public funding necessary for its survival. “Before properly understanding the mechanisms that determined this state of affairs for so long\,” says the author\, “I was always shocked and speechless when facing these manifestations of what I thought to be a cultural inconsistency. Why not state clearly that\, should we not expand into space within this century\, our civilization would be prematurely terminated? Why not acknowledge that the expansion beyond the limits of our mother planet is an absolute and vital necessity for a civilization that will soon exceed eight billion individuals? The multiple reasons for such a failure\, for not accepting the agencies’ main mission are political\, economic and military. They are philosophical as well\, deeply rooted in the pre-Copernican paradigm of the “closed world”. These justifications have become clearer to me\, thanks to a patient work of research and informative discussion with other space enthusiasts\, and thanks to that great resource developed over the last thirty years: the global network. However\, the main aim of this work is not to denounce those responsible for a very regrettable delay of half a century\, but rather to put together\, in a coherent and integrated way\, the deeply moral reasons of a finally maturely expansionist strategy.” \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 dimplomed 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. \nA complete list of publications can be seen here https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/AVA_BIO_2022.pdf\, and here https://spacerenaissance.space/documents/papers-fragments/ \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel:  https://youtu.be/1HNyjLkfyAI \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1365536740591810 \n“A greater world is possible” is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/greater-world-possible-expansion-civilization/dp/1727889924

SUMMARY:Producing Food in Space - with Dr. Thomas Matula
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps the biggest impact space settlement technology will have on the Earth’s multiple environmental crises is in agriculture. Space habitats will have limited space to produce the food and will need to advance the technology for food production to achieve agriculture self-sufficiency. Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) is the next step in securing the human food supply and consists of moving plants into an enclosed environment in which lighting\, water\, temperature\, nutrients and even the CO2 level in the air is optimized for the species being cultivated.\n \nThe water used is recycled within the system\, reducing the water demand by up to 95%\, critical for resolving the freshwater crisis which is impacting many agriculture regions. Since CEA is independent of seasonal cycles it is possible to produce crops continuedly ensuring a steady supply to markets. The result is a huge increase in crop yields by CEA\, depending on the species\, over existing agricultural yields. Perhaps the greatest impact of CEA will be on climate change as food production and transportation accounts for an estimate one-third of greenhouse gases (Gilbert\, 2012). Because CEA is produced in a controlled environment it is able to use renewable energy instead of fossil fuels for the production of food. It also does not require either pesticides or herbicides because its isolation from the external environment serves as an effective barrier to weeds and insects. Since it is independent of the external environment it is also independent of climate zones\, so the facilities for producing the food could be located near the demand for it\, eliminating the global shipping of agricultural goods that currently accounts for large amounts of greenhouse gases. Finally\, the increased yields resulting from CEA will enable the restoration of tens of millions of square kilometers of land to native ecosystems\, a process that will not only reverse the extinction crisis but also provide for the sequestration of large amounts of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.\n…\nDr. Matula is an Associate Professor of Business Administration at Sul Ross State University – Rio Grande College. His research focus for the last 25 years has been on the economic space development\, the most recent focus on lunar industrialization and the development of economically viable commercial space settlements. MBA\, Ph.D. is Bachelor of Applied Science Program Supervisor at Great Basin College\, Instructor Marketing and Management at Great Basin College\, and Advisor / Investor at Astrosettlements. In his consulting work his focus has been on the application of innovations in the technology environment to business and the development of the space commerce industry. BGS in General Studies at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1983. MBA in Management at New Mexico State University in 1986. He earned his Ph.D. in Business Administration at New Mexico State University in 1994 with the dissertation topic of Commercial Spaceports.\n…\nFollow the Live Stream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/nXR_TP1cEAk\nClick ‘going’ on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/521684869567023/.

SUMMARY:Why Art in Space? - with Sabine Heinz
DESCRIPTION:If you think artists are useless\, try to spend a quarantine period without music\, books\, poems\, movies\, paintings and games.\nThe corona virus has changed our organizational structures worldwide. That also has positive aspects. New technologies have received a boost out of the need to maintain communication structures. This can also be an opportunity. Digitization has entered the world in a new dimension. Elements will find their way into art\, be it as artificial intelligence\, which is already taking place\, or in 3D printing\, video technology or other electronic forms. Entirely new art formats will emerge. The new technical possibilities that arise now also influence the content. That could become the art of man venturing into space.\n \n\nSabine Heinz\, a short bio: \n\nBorn in Gera\, living and working in Berlin.\n1981 – 1983 Apprenticeship as Secretary.\n1988 – 1990 Apprenticeship as Window dresser.\n1992 – 1993 Study of Graphics and Design at the “Studiengemeinschaft Darmstadt”.\nSince 1993 Sanìbine participated in different courses and workshops: Etchings\, Collage\, Nudes.\n2002 – 2009 Member of the Studio„ “Otto Nagel“\, Berlin.\n2005 – 2007 Study of Arts at „Kunstgut“\, Berlin.\n\nSabine lives and works as a partially freelance artist in Berlin. The subjects of her work are landscapes\, humans and\, since 2009\, space art as well. In doing so\, she explores varies techniques such as printing\, collage\, mixed media and ipad drawings and collages\, some of which she animates. She experiments with different materials and tries to build a bridge between art and science. \nFollow the Live Stream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/DXBBInU458E \nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/346175317526595/

SUMMARY:Transterrestialism in the Renaissance and its Importance for today's Space Philosophy
DESCRIPTION:The transterrestrialist view of the world owns ancient roots\, and is very much important today\, while big crises are threatening civilization. Dr. Heuser gives a lecture on transterretrialist philosophy through history\, and the relevance of a sane negentropic philosophic approach\, to sustain humankind evolution into a Solar System civilization\, defeating crises and regressive factors. \nIn the Renaissance period\, Giordano Bruno\, especially in his work “De Immenso” of 1591\, outlined what was probably the first philosophy of space travel. “With the wings of the spirit”\, he undertook journeys to the moon and other celestial bodies\, conducted thought experiments on planetary perspective\, and questioned the reasons for man’s ability to overcome limited horizons.  \n\n \n\nAccording to him\, man’s desire to leave the Earth is founded in man’s dual nature. Although he has a limited body\, he has an unlimited mind. Thus\, man is a border crosser between the finite and the infinite and can thus transcend boundaries again and again. Giordano Bruno was a minstrel of the universe\, in which he assumed an unlimited number of solar systems with living beings. The philosopher of German Idealism and Romanticism\, Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling\, took up Bruno’s ideas and wrote in 1844: man is not a local but a universal being. He originated on Earth\, but he is not there only for the earth. He should rather dwell in the universe. This cosmic anthropology developed in the tradition of philosophy and its possible meaning for the present time is one of the subjects of this lecture by Dr. Heuser. \nAlberto Cavallo\, one of the co-founders of Space Renaissance International\, will add a few considerations about the 15th Century Italian Renaissance. \nA short bio \n\nDr. phil. Marie-Luise Heuser\, philosopher and university lecturer at the Universities of Düsseldorf\, Stuttgart\, Heidelberg and Braunschweig\, most recently at the Institute of Space Systems at the Technical University of Braunschweig. She is the Executive Director of The Society for Space Culture and Head of the Space and Culture Department in the German Aerospace Society (DGLR). \nMain research interests are the philosophy of space travel since antiquity\, space theories\, philosophy of nature\, art and technology\, metaphysics\, ontology and anthropology. \nMarie-Luise is Head of the Space Philosophy Laboratory at Space Renaissance Academy. \n\n\nPublications: \n\nTransterrestrik in der Renaissance.

SUMMARY:Women in Astronomy
DESCRIPTION:In the field of astronomy research\, women have made some of the greatest contributions\, even when access to the discipline was restricted. For example\, a century ago women were enlisted to organize the data collected by new telescopes. It was these women\, who were often condemned to only the most repetitive and boring work\, who first understood the true makeup of the stars and how to gauge whether the universe was changing its size. In celebration of International Women’s Day and to champion fuller access to education and careers for woman scientists\, Sabine Heinz meets Seth Shostak to talk about celebrated women in astronomy.\n…\n\nSee the live stream on the Space Renaissance YouTube channel.\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event. \n\n…

SUMMARY:Seth Shostak "Will Aliens have Music?"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\nCan we expect that other intelligence in the cosmos will have music? Vision\, hearing and even smell are all examples of what’s called “convergent evolution” – which is to say that because these senses are useful for survival\, they have arisen in many species.\nBut what about music? While dogs sing and birds whistle\, music is largely restricted to Homo sapiens. And even for our own species\, it’s not clear exactly how or why we developed our talent for music.\nHowever\, and as we’ll discuss\, if the aliens do have music\, it’s probable that it will be somewhat similar to our own. We might not like it\, but we’d probably recognize it.\n\nBIO\nSeth Shostak is Senior Astronomer and Institute Fellow at the SETI Institute. With degrees in physics and astronomy from Princeton University and Caltech\, he has a long history of research in radio astronomy and in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence\, or SETI.\nSeth has written more than 600 popular articles on science and technology\, and hosts the weekly science radio show and podcast “Big Picture Science.” He has authored four books.\n\nClick ‘going’ to Facebook Event\nFollow the live streaming on YouTube
