As global energy demand surges due to rapid advances in AI and widespread electrification\, traditional terrestrial data centers face mounting obstacles—high operating costs\, cooling inefficiencies\, and lengthy permitting processes. Starcloud presents a visionary solution by leveraging near-uninterrupted\, high-intensity solar energy available in low Earth orbit\, where solar arrays operate at capacity factors exceeding 95%. The presentation will detail the design and operational advantages of modular orbital data centers. Utilizing reusable heavy-lift launch vehicles and modular\, container-based compute units\, these orbital installations can rapidly scale to multi-gigawatt levels without encountering the physical and regulatory constraints that limit Earth-bound facilities. In space\, passive radiative cooling replaces energy-intensive terrestrial systems\, resulting in drastic reductions in operating costs and environmental impact\, including lower greenhouse gas emissions and elimination of water usage for cooling. Connectivity and performance are maintained through advanced laser-based networking and optical communication systems\, ensuring the low-latency\, high-throughput links essential for training large-scale AI models. This novel approach not only addresses the looming energy crunch but also transforms the economics of data center operation\, making it feasible to deploy large-scale\, energy-efficient AI training clusters on a scale previously unimaginable. In summary\, this talk will provide an in-depth exploration of the technical\, economic\, and environmental benefits of constructing large data centers in space. By shifting the locus of AI training from Earth to orbit\, Starcloud aims to unlock a new era of rapid\, sustainable growth for artificial intelligence\, meeting the rising global demand for computing power in an energy-efficient manner. \nA short bio\nPhilip Johnston is the co-founder and CEO of Starcloud\, building large data centers in space. Philip is a second-time founder who previously spent time at McKinsey & Co. working on satellite projects for national space agencies.

It is the opposite. It is a flagrantly materialist\, consumerist cosmos\, a cosmos that has invented vanity–piling up surplus\, then displaying it with panache. Flaunting\, flouncing and strutting your stuff. \nNature loves those who oppose her most. She favors those who reinvent her\, those who give her new powers. \nThis is a planet of climate catastrophe. With mass die-offs every 26.5 million years. And 99% of all the species that have ever lived extinguished by\, guess who? Nature. \nYet life flings a finger in the face of this poison pill of stone. Despite nonstop climate apocalypse\, life greens and gardens the place. Life’s next imperative: garden and green the poison pills of stone above our heads. Bring space to life by bringing life to space. \nMeanwhile\, invent climate stabilization technologies to overcome this planet’s wild mood swings. Invent climate stabilization technologies to sneak over\, around\, or above the next ice age or the next planetary warming\, a warming with carbon dioxide levels over twice what they are today. \nIn this cosmos\, it is not the most probable thing that happens. It is the most improbable. Sex is the ultimate example. Sex is not the shortest path to reproduction. In fact\, it is the longest path this universe has ever conceived.\n\nA short bio\nHoward Bloom has been called the Einstein\, Newton\, Darwin\, and Freud of the 21st century by Britain’s Channel 4 TV. He is the founder and chair of the Space Development Steering Committee\, the co-founder and co-chair of the Asian Space Technology Summit and on the Board of Governors of the National Space Society. Bloom is the author of eight books\, including The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History. One of his books\, Global Brain\, was the subject of a symposium thrown by the office of the Secretary of Defense\, with representatives from the State Department\, DARPA\, the Energy Department\, IBM\, and MIT. His work has been published in The Washington Post\, the Wall Street Journal\, Wired\, Psychology Today\, and the Scientific American. He has written articles for peer-reviewed journals or given lectures at scholarly conferences in twelve different scientific fields\, from quantum physics and cosmology to evolutionary biology\, neuroscience\, biopolitics\, information science\, and astronautics. And he has worked with Buzz Aldrin\, Michael Jackson\, Prince\, Billy Joel\, Paul Simon\, and Bob Marley. The eleventh president of India\, Dr. APJ Kalam\, calls Bloom “a visionary.” And in 2021\, an organization was established to further his work: The Howard Bloom Institute. Pavel Kurakin of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow says that\, “Bloom has created a new Scientific Paradigm. He explains in vast and compelling terms why we should forget all we know in complicated modern math and should start from the very beginning. …Bloom’s Grand Unified Theory… opens a window into entire systems we don’t yet know and/or see\, new…collectivities that live\, love\, battle\, win and lose each day of our gray lives. I never imagined that a new system of thought could produce so much light.” Concludes Joseph Chilton Pierce\, the author of Evolution’s End and The Crack in the Cosmic Egg\, “I have finished Howard Bloom’s [first two] books\, The Lucifer Principle and Global Brain\, in that order\, and am seriously awed\, near overwhelmed by the magnitude of what he has done. I never expected to see\, in any form\, from any sector\, such an accomplishment. I doubt there is a stronger intellect than Bloom’s on the planet.” Home – Howard Bloom Institute. \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/8PvjfKg2JZQ \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1027976905580373/ URL:https://spacerenaissance.space/event/the-case-of-the-sexual-cosmos/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Space Renaissance Academy Webinar Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/COTSC.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250529T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250529T223000 DTSTAMP:20260427T230103 CREATED:20250514T093212Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250514T100234Z UID:8106-1748552400-1748557800@spacerenaissance.space SUMMARY:La Terra\, un pianeta immerso nel Cosmo DESCRIPTION:Quarto webinar preparatorio del 3° Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia\, Università della Magna Graecia\, Catanzaro\nModeratori: Antonio Locampo (giornalista)\, Luigina Feretti (astrofisica\, INAF) \nPartecipano: \n\nLuigina Feretti (INAF) Astrofisica\nEnrico Feoli (SRI) ricercatore Università di Trieste\nGermano Bianchi (INAF) ricercatore detriti orbitali\nAlberto Cavallo (SRI\, Co-fondatore)\nMarco Bersanelli (Univ.

When we think of sustainable development\, the future of society\, or what we will leave behind for the next generations\, nearly all of us picture the future of Earth. But with countries\, companies\, and individuals making meaningful advances toward inhabiting the Moon and Mars\, our responsibilities\, and future now concern both Earth and space. While space conversations around sustainable orbital traffic\, sustainable in-situ resource utilization\, and mining have gained significant traction\, these are only a part of the sustainability picture. Very little attention is paid to the implications of the social\, political\, and economic sustainability of our space activities. This fuller picture of sustainability has two sides to it: what happens on Earth to make space exploration possible and what happens in space once we settle there. The space sector must consider space itself a location for sustainable development precisely because we are setting up space to be a location for future generations of humans. This talk will elaborate on this two-sided consideration and present practical ideas about what sustainability on Earth and in space might look like when it comes to human settlements on Mars\, in particular. \nA short bio\nDr. Juliana Rinaldi-Semione is the Research Fellow in Future Worlds & Freedom and the SDGs in Space project lead in the Faculties of Engineering and Social Sciences at the University of Nottingham (UK). Juliana’s research interests center on applied space ethics within a sustainable development framework\, including future directions for cross-sector initiatives in aerospace production and for governance and societal structures around off-world colonization. She is passionate about synthesizing disparate bodies of knowledge to create and implement solutions to complex problems on Earth and on new worlds. With many years of implementing research in “real life\,” Juliana has designed impact pathways involving government\, policy\, and industry stakeholders. Previous projects have examined human rights in the transition to clean energy; developing a sustainability requirement for an electro-mechanical engineering apprenticeship course; and establishing how Mars can act as proof of concept for the global ethics and human values we ostensibly hold. Juliana has previously worked with global non-governmental organizations and in the public sector\, specializing in managing cross-sector\, multi-agency collaborative work. She is an alumna of the Space Generation Advisory Council. Originally from California (USA)\, Juliana holds an MA from King’s College London and a PhD from the University of Nottingham. \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/9W_M3q3l9_s \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1324993632095629/ URL:https://spacerenaissance.space/event/space-as-a-physical-location-for-sustainable-development-with-juliana-rinaldi-simione/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Space Renaissance Academy Webinar Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/JRS-Mars-city.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250421T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250421T203000 DTSTAMP:20260427T230103 CREATED:20250211T110629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250211T110629Z UID:7986-1745262000-1745267400@spacerenaissance.space SUMMARY:Behind the 'Artist’s Rendition' - Art\, Illustration\, and the Space Age DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAs long as humanity has dreamed of other worlds and how we might get there\, artists have been inspired to imagine and depict these worlds and what such amazing journeys might look like. Before the age of modern photography\, explorers were frequently accompanied by artists who created drawings and paintings of the unknown regions. This trend continued into the Space Age\, when artists were tapped to help visualize the space environment in the absence of cameras capable of reaching alien planets. “Behind the ‘Artist’s Rendition’ – Art\, Illustration\, and the Space Age” looks at the history of twentieth-century astronomical illustration and space art\, focusing on its role as both cultural artefact and a form of scientific visualization. I will examine how these illustrations have impacted popular culture. My talk will use the history and legacy of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA)\, founded in the early 1980s\, to structure its chronology. The IAAA\, a guild that professionalized around the accurate representations of space\, was behind some of the most iconic depictions of space produced during the United States’ exploration of the outer solar system. The IAAA\, which still exists today\, still collaborates closely with the astronomical and space exploration communities. \nA short bio\nAldo Spadoni is an aerospace engineer-futurist with over 40 years of experience supporting advanced NASA\, DARPA\, and US DoD programs. He created and managed an award-winning visualization team at Northrop Grumman. He is a team recipient of NASA’s Turning Goals Into Reality award and has several US patents to his credit. His consulting company\, Aerospace Imagineering\, specializes in the conceptual design and visualization of advanced aerospace technology concepts. Aldo is an accomplished artist\, illustrator and concept designer. He is the former President of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA).

Cultural History of the Early Space Pioneers in Germany - Dr. Marie-Luise Heuser DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe space movement from 1923 to 1933 was primarily a cultural phenomenon in Germany during the Weimar Republic. Neither the universities nor industry recognized the potential of space travel at the time. Often ridiculed as dreamers\, the space pioneers pursued their visionary goals\, founded the famous “Verein für Raumschiffahrt” in 1927 and carried out the first self-built rocket tests. They wrote science fiction stories\, were involved in the production of Fritz Lang’s legendary 1929 film “Woman in the Moon”\, invented scientifically based future scenarios and published metaphysical works. They were border crossers between cultures. We want to approach this cultural phenomenon from different angles and examine “technology fiction” as a philosophical concept. \nA short bio\nMarie-Luise Heuser studied philosophy\, history\, physics and mathematics at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf/ Germany and completed her doctorate with a thesis on Schelling’s philosophy of nature and the physical theories of self-organization. She worked in research and teaching at the universities of Düsseldorf\, Heidelberg\, Stuttgart and Braunschweig. From 2002-2015 she was a research assistant at the Department of Philosophy at the Technical University of Braunschweig and organizer of the transdisciplinary cooperation “Culture and Space”. From 2015-2020\, she headed the Department of Culture and Space at the Institute of Space Systems at TU Braunschweig. Since 2010 she has also been Managing Director of the Gesellschaft für Kultur und Raumfahrt e. V. (www.kulturraumfahrt.de)\, since 2020 Head of the Space and Culture Committee in the German Aerospace Society (DGLR)\, since 2022 Head of the Space Philosophy Laboratory of the Space Renaissance Academy\, and since 2024 she has been delegate to UN COPUOS. Her research interests are: Classical philosophy of space flight from antiquity to modernity\, metaphysics\, ontology\, anthropology\, philosophy of nature and philosophy of art. Her publications include: Transterrestrialismus in der Renaissance (2008)\, Russischer Kosmismus und extraterrestrischer Suprematismus (2009)\, Space Philosophy (2016)\, Space Ontology and Space Travel around 1600 and 1900 (2016)\, Return to the Moon (2019)\, Husserl’s Phenomenology of Flight (2020)\, ‘Man is not only there for the Earth’.

The safety of the expensive payload and/or human crew strongly depends on the spacecraft survival to the harsh conditions which are experienced during the hypersonic descent into the target planetary atmosphere\, involving high thermal loads on the vehicle surface. In addition\, at the highest speeds\, the surrounding gas ionizes forming a plasma sheath which can prevent radio signals to pass through\, leading to communication blackout which can last for minutes\, as in the case of the 4.5 minutes during the famous Apollo 13 re-entry. While previously confined solely to Sci-Fi movies\, magnetic shielding can now be seriously proposed and technologically pursued as a potential game-changer for tackling all these issues and for contributing to establish a safer and possibly more cost-effective era for space flight. To this end\, this presentation introduces MEESST (MHD Enhanced Entry System for Space Transportation)\, an international project that has developed and demonstrated the first magnetic shielding prototype for re-entry based on high-temperature superconductors (HTS)\, aiming at actively mitigating both high surface heating and communication blackouts. MEESST has been funded under the Pathfinder program of the European Innovation Council (EIC) and has involved 30+ scientists/engineer from 10 organizations (of which 4 SMEs) in 6 countries. The project has involved a combination of numerical modelling of plasma flows and radio communication blackout\, design/assembly/testing of a cryocooled probe integrating a HTS magnet\, and experimental measurements in high-enthalpy plasma wind-tunnels (i.e. the PWK1 arc-jet facility at the Institute for Space Systems in Stuttgart and the Plasmatron at the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Belgium). The vision\, methodology\, main results and achievements of MEESST will be presented\, together with a roadmap towards consolidating and establishing this technology as a disruptive solution to empower future space missions. \nA short bio\nDr. Andrea Lani (Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences\, MSc in aerospace engineering) is research/team manager at KU Leuven’s Center for mathematical Plasma Astrophysics\, AIAA member\, co-author of 100+ scientific papers and previously senior researcher at Von Karman Institute\, postdoc at NASA/Stanford Center for Turbulence Research and NATO Science & Technology technical member. Since 20+ years he has lead the development of models/software to simulate hypersonic flows around space vehicles and space weather as co-designer of the COOLFluiD (Computational Object-Oriented Libraries for Fluid Dynamics) and ESA VSWMC (Virtual Space Weather Modelling Center) platforms. He has been the PI of MEESST\, a large EU project (10 organizations) developing the first magnetic shielding demonstrator for space re-entry. \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/dcXO-j6L9lg \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1277634080017458/ URL:https://spacerenaissance.space/event/electromagnetic-fields-for-protection-during-atmosphere-re-enter-with-andrea-lani/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Space Renaissance Academy Webinar Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/MEESST2-LANI.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250228T210000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Zurich:20250228T230000 DTSTAMP:20260427T230103 CREATED:20250215T111529Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250215T111529Z UID:7995-1740776400-1740783600@spacerenaissance.space SUMMARY:3xE Energy Economy Environment - webinar 3° Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia DESCRIPTION:3xE Energy\, Economy\, Environment 1° webinar precongressuale del 3° Congresso Nazionale di Space Renaissance Italia \n\nPiero Bianucci – moderatore\nFrancesco Lodi (ENEA)\, coordinatore del progetto SELENE: piccoli reattori nucleari per alimentare il villaggio lunare\nStefano Antonetti (D-ORBIT SpA) – Alberto Cavallo (SRI)\, esperto di energia\, co-Fondatore di Space Renaissance International\nAdriano V.

It quickly became clear that this is an extraordinary object\, since it was on collision course with Earth. Just before midnight is was announced in social media\, that on January 21\, at 1:32\, the rock from space would enter the Earth atmosphere just west of Berlin\, and produce a dazzling fireball. In the first part of the talk we will present\, how we got notified of the events and what we did in the remaining hours till impact. We will describe what happened thereafter and how we managed to gather just 13.5 hours later near the impact point for a first for meteorite hunt. The second part of the talk will describe the details of the meteorite search\, the lessons we learned\, and how we managed to obtain the best-documented meteorite-strewn field ever. \nShort bios\nSirko Molau became a star gazer and amateur astronomer at the age of 15\, when he joined a youth club at public Archenhold Observatory in Berlin. One year later he conducted his first meteor observation – a topic which has fascinated him till then. In 1992 he used for the first time a video camera to record meteors. In 1997 he became head of Arbeitskreis Meteore e.V.\, a German society for observers of atmospheric phenomena\, and has remained bord member or head of organization till then. In 1999 he started the world-wide first video network to record meteors permanently\, which is still in operation today. Over the time the network has grown to more than 80 cameras recording the sky in about a dozen of countries. In 2018 he started his latest project and arranged the AllSky7 Fireball Network Europe\, a network of meanwhile a hundred all-sky cameras that are recording the skies 24/7. This network has already captured numerous fireballs and a few meteorite falls\, including Ribbeck. \nAndreas Möller is a member of the Arbeitskreis Meteore e.V. and is passionate about atmospheric phenomena\, especially auroras. Over the years\, he has built a well known website for aurora prediciton in Germany www.polarlicht-vorhersage.de as well as the Aurora Archive. In his free time\, he travels the world to photograph breathtaking landscapes and observe total solar eclipses. \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/Dbh4mdT7CsI \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/599615146256577 URL:https://spacerenaissance.space/event/2024-bx1-and-the-ribbeck-meteorite-fall/ LOCATION:Zoom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/SMAM.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250213T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250213T210000 DTSTAMP:20260427T230103 CREATED:20250121T121036Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250205T112231Z UID:7947-1739469600-1739480400@spacerenaissance.space SUMMARY:Living in Space DESCRIPTION:Join astronauts Jeff Hoffman\, Robert Thirsk\, Soyeon Yi\, with Joe Pelton\, Bernard Foing\, and many other experts\, discussing how it will be to live in the outer space. \nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/hMTBepQ4Jls \nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1124423735981278/ URL:https://spacerenaissance.space/event/living-in-space/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Living in Space ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/LIS_Initiative_Event-Poster.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250203T200000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250203T213000 DTSTAMP:20260427T230103 CREATED:20250114T175624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250114T175624Z UID:7933-1738612800-1738618200@spacerenaissance.space SUMMARY:Space Elevators: the Green Road to Space - with Jason "Hap" Arnold DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nA space elevator connecting a sea-based platform on Earth with a space anchor in geosynchronous orbit is the inevitable solution for sustainable space lift and an equitable space economy. The realities of the “rocket equation” mean that cargo will always be prohibitively expensive to lift out of the gravity well\, limiting the scope of human activities in space. Rockets create pollution that contributes to climate change. The development of a space elevator provides limitless cargo lift using clean electricity. This allows critical space applications with large logistic footprints to be pursued. Projects such as space solar power\, planetary defense\, and communities on the Moon and Mars have lift requirements that are unachievable by any system other than the space elevator. A space elevator benefits all\, providing universal access to space\, not just for those nations that can afford rockets. The discovery and development of CVD Graphene and other materials with the strength to serve as a tether for the space elevator means that we can pursue this infrastructure now. The goals and ideals of the 18th SDG are best met by building a space elevator\, as a green road to space for all. \nA short bio\nDr. Jason “Hap” Arnold\, Ed.D. is the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director for the National Space Society (NSS.org)\, and the Director of Education and Outreach for the International Space\nElevator Consortium (ISEC.org). He serves as a member of the Board of Directors for both organizations. Dr. Arnold is a National Space Society “Space Ambassador.” Previously\, he was a Dean at the Defense Security Cooperation University. As a professor\, he taught at the National Defense University and Air Command and Staff College.

If Mars gravity is enough\, we can settle there and become multiplanetary. But whatever gravity we need\, we can also live in spinning facilities\, in earth orbit and then in interplanetary space. We can test our response to Mars gravity by trying to settle Mars\, or by living in a spinning station in LEO\, at far lower costs and risks. I will explore the implications of both options. \nA short bio\nJoe Carroll has worked in aerospace since 1981 and is now mostly retired. He developed the space tether systems used in SEDS\, PMG\, SEDS-2\, TiPS\, and TEPCE.

Co-authors: Schlacht I\, Morelli E. (Jane)\, Masali M.\, Micheletti Cremasco M.\, Monina P.\, Pierlorenzi G.\, Nappo M.\, Vicini G.\, Students of the 3rd year of Poliarte Fashion course 2023-24\, Foing B. On future Moon and Mars fashion\, the anthropometric aspect should also involve any natural and/or medical metamorphoses\, that include (as from the recent ESA parastronaut call) different body shapes\, such as very short stature\, or limb differences”. Having in mind this concept with the support of the team from Universitá degli Studi di Torino and the great team of PoliArte di Ancona specialized in Art\, Design\, and Fashion\, we challenged the students from the Fashion design course at PoliArte Fine Arts Academy on preparing a project for Parastronauts\, following the ESA input with its “Parastronaut Feasibility Project”. In conclusion is here proposed a a visionary project of Space Suits for Parastronauts inspired by Generative Artificial Intelligence to interact with future Moon or Mars settlements in the future. This project is based on concepts related to inclusion design as well as cultural and physical Anthropology and Art for Space. \n\n\nAn essential bio\nDr.-Ing.

Both initiatives invited her to contribute creative content to their time capsules. This particular lunar mission will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon9 rocket out of Cape Canaveral\, mounted on the Firefly Blue Ghost One Lander\, and scheduled to land on the lunar surface inside Mare Crisum\, in the center of an ancient volcano Mons Latreille. The mission will be actively conducting experiments for about two weeks after landing on the lunar surface before freezing over\, preserved for perpetuity on the moon for later generations far in the future to discover. Details about this launch are available at https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/6794. Copernic Space is hosting payload space for Space Art and other innovative space assets featured in its “Spaceibles” NFT catalog\, and Lifeship offers a variety of ways to participate in their space-based time capsule initiative\, including creative content\, but also contributing other digitized items of personal meaning\, along with indigenous histories and animal plant and even human DNA. Implications for a unique space commerce structure and a viable inclusive space economy exist in this realm of cultural sharing and exchange. If said time capsule is discovered more or less intact and deciphered thousands perhaps even millions of years from now\, will we be the “Rosetta Stone” for our era in this form? Cultural and ethical questions arise with regard to depositing records of humankind and earth records on the lunar surface. How should we in the space community respond to initiatives like this? \n\n\nAn essential bio\nCheryl Gallagher\, known professionally as Madhavi Devi\, is a multifaceted active professional artist and musician who has made significant and unique contributions to the fields of ambient electronic music and visual arts.

Plaza 777\, NYC DESCRIPTION:2025 is a crucial year. United Nations and its subsidiaries will perform two important re-examinations: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the 17 SDGs\, issued in 2015)\, and the Space 2030 Agenda (issued in 2021). The Space 18th SDG Coalition already developed a substantial critical review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and advanced a fundamental amendment: to add an 18th SDG\, focused on Civilian-led Space Development. The Space 18th SDG Coalition also wants to bring its contribution to the discussion on the Space 2030 Agenda. All the Space Advocacy Organizations are warmly suggested to perform a critical review of such text. Space Renaissance International already initiated the work\, and will soon propose a general review and some key amendments. While the most relevant concern in the Agenda is sustainability\, space is only conceived as a tool to support sustainability on Earth’s surface. There’s no mention of outer space as an arena of possible expansion and development for human civilization. No mention of space settlement\, nor of its fundamental contribution to solving the social and economic issues of civilization. Possible amendments should remediate such an incredible lack: to add an Overarching Objective 5\, on Civilian Space Development\, Space Settlement\, and Industrialization\, as key factors of sustainable development\, having social\, economic\, and environmental concerns as primary criteria\, in reshaping the Space 2030 Agenda. The day includes two main modules: – Module #01 – Symposium for the Future\, starting 9 am\, New York time – Module #02 – Round table on 5 sessions: Space 2030 Agenda – a Critical Review\, Space for Peace\, Space for Sustainable Economic and Social Growth\, Space for Young Generations\, Space for Earth’s Environment and Sustainable Development – starting 2:30 pm\, New York time Many speakers and panelists\, including well known public figures as Bob Zubrin and Frank White\, diplomats and activists for human rights at U.N.\, like Claire Nelson\, will be questioned about the critical issues faced by civilization\, that require concrete actions before 2030. The meaningful concepts that will emerge during the workshop will be the subject of a final recommendation and will be key parts of the narration brought ahead by the Coalition’s representatives at U.N. COPUOS\, ECOSOC and\, even most important\, to the public audience worldwide. The workshop is also intended to be a useful conceptual input to the two meaningful U.N. instances\, occurring in September\, in the same location in NYC: the Summit of the Future (SOTF)\, and the U.N. 79th General Assembly. \n\n\nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/live/rFyAqmb4yhs\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1156074145490194/ URL:https://spacerenaissance.space/event/space-18th-sdg-summit-for-the-future-a-hybrid-workshop-at-u-n-plaza-777-nyc/ LOCATION:United Nations Plaza\, 777 New York City\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Space 18th SDG,Space Renaissance International ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://spacerenaissance.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/18thsdg-snw.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Space Renaissance International":MAILTO:info@spacerenaissance.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20240902T190000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20240902T203000 DTSTAMP:20260427T230103 CREATED:20240825T094932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240825T100122Z UID:7619-1725303600-1725309000@spacerenaissance.space SUMMARY:Orbital compost bin (recycling ISS) DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this presentation Dr. Ribeiro describes his proposal to recycle the International Space Station\, instead of decommissioning it. \n\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.

Hammond\, Ph.D DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this presentation Dr. Hammond will begin with an overarching overview of the space exploration landscape from the 2020s to 2050 and beyond. An essential element of this landscape is a Moon-to-Mars Architecture which is promulgated and kept up to date by NASA. He will explain six key questions: Why we go\, Who we send\, What we do\, Where we go\, When we go\, and How we get there and back. The answer to any one question is less important than ensuring that the answers to all six fit together as an integrated whole. Dr. Hammond will then discuss the principal elements that comprise space exploration: (1) Science\, including deep space and planetary exploration missions; (2) Transportation\, including launch vehicles and vehicles for in-space and surface transportation/exploration; (3) Infrastructure\, involving 24 major elements that comprise the basic infrastructure; (4) 18 categories of Space Laws\, Regulations\, and Standards matched to the 24 key infrastructure elements; and (5) Industrial space goods\, services\, and activities provided by private sector enterprises to enable commercial exploration and utilization of space resources. Dr. Hammond will wrap up the presentation by describing the many benefits to people on Earth of space exploration and utilization. \n\n\nWalter Hammond\, Ph.D. abbreviated bio\nSystems Engineering & Integration Subject Matter Expert (SE&I SME) with 45+ years of progressive experience in systems engineering and integration of aerospace and defense systems\, systems analysis and trade studies\, formulation of system requirements\, verification\, and validation.
