SUMMARY:SR Academy Space Habitats Committee Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract – AGOS \nLiving in space in a zero- or low-gravity environment like the Moon or Mars causes danger to human health\, such as bone demineralization or muscle atrophy. In the long run space habitats need gravity simulation by rotating around their main axis. The AGOS (Artificial Gravity Orbital Station) project was designed as a rotating space station and a possible successor of the present ISS. The station is built of cylindrical modules and a structural framework. SpaceX Falcon launchers are proposed to transport the modules to Low Earth Orbit. The initial stage 1 of AGOS has a mass of 270 metric tons and a diameter of 102 meters. 24 crew members can live and work in a 0.9 g environment. In the far future\, Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) can be mined to utilize their mineral resources. When the mining process is finished\, we can build a rotating habitat inside a hollow asteroid. As an example\, we have taken the asteroid 2008EV5 with a diameter of approx. 450 meters. A toroidal structure of 240 m diameter is rotating inside the asteroid´s hull. The stony hull provides shelter against radiation and meteorites. 2\,000 inhabitants can live on the inner surface of the torus. Nutrition is provided by vertical farming and aquaculture. In the coming centuries\, we can utilize about 10\,000 NEAs for mining and use some hundreds of them to carry human habitats. \nAn essential bio: Werner Grandl \nWeerner graduated at the Technical University of Vienna in 1984\, as architect and civil engineer. He published several papers on studies for space stations and space colonies\, utilization of lunar and asteroid resource. \nAbstract – The Development of Island Zero  \nIn the early 1970s\, Gerard O’Neil and others developed plans for a large habitat to be constructed in free space that could house 10\,000 people. The design – known as Island One – was deliberately restricted to the technology of the time\, so that no-one could suggest that it was fantasy due to requiring materials that had not been invented. However\, during the next 40 years there had been all kinds of improvements in materials science\, engineering\, and other areas that could make this program more efficient\, so I ran a project at the British Interplanetary Society to re-examine and update the original studies. Construction would not begin with Island One; we’d need to establish a much smaller structure first\, to house the personnel that will assemble the facilities for construction. This would demonstrate many of the features of a full settlement but on a much smaller scale\, both in size and cost\, as a way of showing the viability of some of the ideas behind space habitation. We designated the initial unit as “Island Zero”. \nAn essential bio: Jerry Stone \nI am a Freelance Space Presenter; I run Spaceflight UK and give presentations on a range of topics on astronomy and space exploration all over the UK and abroad. I am a fellow of the British Interplanetary Society and the Royal Astronomical Society.  I am also a member of the Board of the Space Renaissance International\, and the chair of the Space Habitats Committee. I ran a project at the British Interplanetary Society to re-examine and update the original space habitat studies. This became the SPACE Project – Study Project Advancing Colony Engineering\, which also resulted in a new design for what we called “Island Zero”\, as described above. \nLinks\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/V_YKlk9UFIc \nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/859920138879661/

SUMMARY:Spartan Space – a European habitat for the Moon – and how those can help to address challenges on planet Earth
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe ARTEMIS programme will open a new era of space exploration and a beginning of a sustainable presence and exploration of the lunar surface. The Moon is not ‘a’ steppingstone towards Mars\, it is ‘the’ steppingstone. The target of these missions is the lunar South Pole due to strategic resources that will be needed to set up a sustainable presence on the Moon’s surface and to prepare towards destinations such as planet Mars. But one must understand that the region of interest has approximately the size of the city of Paris\, so it will be crowed up there.\nDr. Peter Weiss will present ARTEMIS not only from a European perspective but also from the point of view of one of the start-ups in Europe’s space sector that are targeting the Moon. What could be a European contribution to ARTEMIS\, complementary to the US ARTEMIS program ?\nSPARTAN SPACE from Marseille\, France works with its industrial and agency partners in Europe on the development of a secondary habitat “EUROHAB” which can be brought to the lunar surface by European capacities. It can serve as base camp for extended extravehicular activities of ARTEMIS’ crews and might become a rallying point between different robotic and human missions.\nDr. Weiss will present this concept and illustrate its development since 2021 by SPARTAN SPACE. He will also show the industrial challenge and its business model which is based on the return of technologies to terrestrial applications: Technologies that can serve to sustain astronauts on the lunar surface can help to reduce some of the challenges on planet Earth: Energy Management\, Water Recycling and CO2 reduction are some key functionalities which are integrated in EUROHAB. Similar technologies can also be implemented in normal households in the future to reduce the impact on the planet. The development of technology for human space exploration can also come to the help of our terrestrial challenges. \nA short bio\nDr. Peter WEISS is Founder and CEO of SPARTAN SPACE Marseille\, France. Peter has more than 20 years of experience in the management of industrial and research projects in the maritime and space sector. He is the Founder and CEO of SPARTAN-SPACE\, a start-up company specializing on the development of underwater and space habitats and platforms. SPARTAN SPACE is involved in the development of the European modules for the GATEWAY and develops\, under CNES contract\, a concept of a secondary habitat for the lunar surface (EUROHAB). SPARTAN SPACE is part of the selection of start-ups in the TECHNTHEMOON initiative by CNES. The start-up company is also involved in several underwater habitat developments. During his career he tries to combine his passion for space and the oceans. Peter worked at the DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen\, Germany\, on a motor drive of a lightweight robot arm\, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston\, USA\, on the development of artificial muscles for self-transforming robotic planetary explorers\, at Cybernetix in Marseille\, France\, as Project Manager for European Commission on underwater robotics and AUV\, at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on a robotic microgravity sampling device for the PHOBOS-GRUNT mission and for over ten years as Director of the Space Department and Company Board member of COMEX in Marseille\, France in underwater space simulations and astronaut training. He was Co-Founder and President until 2016 of POWERSEA\, a start-up company for the development of connectors for marine renewables. Peter was awarded in the APOPHIS MISSION DESIGN COMPETITION\, organized by NASA\, ESA and the PLANETARY SOCIETY. He received the French Medal of Internal Security for the intervention and psychological support of the families of the Germanwings airplane crash in 2015 (as member of the French Red Cross)\, the OCEANS X SPACE Business Applications Competition prize by European Space Agency in 2018 and a special mention by the Concours Jacques Rougerie International Architecture and Arts prizes in 2020 for the EUROHAB concept. \nLinks\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/bhgitVP2DuY\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1665459473936156

SUMMARY:Ethereal Geometry Arts\, with Chris Wade
DESCRIPTION:Rocket City-native Chris Wade is a scifi / fantasy artist who describes his art as “ethereal with a whimsical and dark surreal style\,” often pulling inspiration from the world he experiences in dreams. His work explores ethereal internal landscapes featuring abandoned Space Age machinery presented in a dystopian\, yet dreamy aesthetic\, with the goal of evoking a childlike wonder and feeling of adventure in his works. He has also become known for his hilarious spacey pet portraits and the randomness of his weird creatures. He primarily works in acrylic ink and graphite\, painting on watercolor and riveted sheet metal. He is an award-winning\, published artist\, and a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists. His work serves as commentary on our internal condition\, both individually and collectively\, as well as a rediscovery of our childlike nature and true potential.\nYou can find him at Lowe Mill Arts&Entertainment in studio 2048\, and https://etherealgeometryarts.com/\n\nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/rOSnCxKlkwI\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/966348771328695

SUMMARY:Recognizing and Protecting the History of Humans in Space - Michelle Hanlon
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHeritage is an evolving resource that supports identity\, memory and sense of place and has a crucial role in achieving sustainable development. Humanity has a common responsibility to the past – to protect it so that we may move forward to the future in unity.\nUnfortunately\, historic sites\, our heritage\, in outer space – and particularly on the Moon – are distressingly vulnerable to damage\, whether intentional or inadvertent. And yet\, they enjoy no legal protection or even recognition. The treaty regime guiding outer space activities is silent with respect to the management\, conservation and preservation of our human and cultural heritage in outer space. Indeed\, not only do the treaties provide little clarity\, their provisions raise more questions than they address. As a practical matter\, this means there is nothing to stop anyone or any rover from destroying the still preserved bootprints left by Neil and Buzz at Tranquility Base\, or any robotic lunar landing sites. It is an unfortunate state of affairs in particular because there is little doubt humanity is headed back to the Moon.\nBut we have an unprecedented opportunity. This is the first time in human history that we can preserve our human heritage before destruction or abuse. and embrace the fact that preservation is not antithetical to progress. It is a sign of progress.\nFor All Moonkind has started laying the groundwork for the development of an international system that preserves our heritage in space. This presentation will describe the steps taken nationally and internationally to protect cultural heritage in outer space and outline continuing efforts to assure this moment is not lost. \nAn essential bio\nMichelle L.D. Hanlon is Co-Director of the Air and Space Law Program at the University of Mississippi School of Law and its Center for Air and Space Law. She is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Space Law\, the world’s oldest law journal dedicated to the legal problems arising out of human activities in outer space and its sister publication\, the Journal of Drone Law and Policy. Michelle is a Co-Founder and President of For All Moonkind\, Inc.\, a nonprofit corporation that is the only organization in the world focused on protecting human cultural heritage in outer space. In this capacity\, she was instrumental in the development of the recently enacted One Small Step Act in the United States. For All Moonkind has been recognized by the United Nations as a Permanent Observer to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/IXx_BUh9hco\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/204291048909954/

SUMMARY:Turning orbital trash into treasure - Al Anzaldùa
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nSince the launch of Sputnik in Oct 1957\, the nations (and companies) of Earth have continually added to the collection of artificial satellites and other space vehicles in Earth orbit. In orbit now are communications\, navigation\, weather\, Earth observation and science satellites as well as human occupied space stations. These human made space objects have greatly benefited life on Earth and added to our safety\, our modern way of life and our understanding of the planet. But with this increasing reliance on space-based systems and the expected growth of satellites comes an increasing danger of orbital debris.\nSpent rockets\, obsolete satellites\, and residual debris from collisions and other space mishaps pose a great danger for existing satellites as well as human occupied spacecraft and space stations. This danger will only grow as many countries of the world are creating or expanding their space activities. In this webinar\, Alfred Anzaldúa\, provides a status on the current state of orbital debris and efforts to mitigate and remediate the problem. Al touches on a promising approach that is better than simply de-orbiting this debris\, but recycling/reusing the satellite’s material or servicing the satellite to repair\, extend\, or even enhance its mission. There are clearly many political\, legal\, financial and technology issues involved. This informative space forum covers this critically important aspect of ensuring the safety of space exploration\, development and settlement.\n \nAn essential bio\n\nAl Anzaldúa is a retired U.S. State Department diplomat and 37-year veteran of space advocacy. As a U.S. Foreign Service Officer\, he carried out consular and science/environment work\, primarily in Latin America\, the Caribbean\, and Washington D.C. He has served in various positions for the National Space Society\, including Executive Vice President\, Chair of the Policy Committee\, Chair of the International Committee. He continues as a member of the Policy Committee\, International Committee\, and Board Director. Al recently also joined SRI as a member\, and is sitting in the SRI Board of Directors. Al has authored or co-authored 40 articles and papers on space-development\, in The Space Review\, The Reflector\, Ad Astra\, and other publications\, including the 5th volume of the Aerospace Technology Working Group Book published by the Secure World Foundation\, et al. As a member of the NSS Policy Committee\, Al also co-authored NSS policy papers. He also has given presentations and exhibitions on space-related subjects in English and Spanish dating back to 1986. \nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/nARPIqXuu6U\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/283552707470178

SUMMARY:Greater Earth Energy Synergies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIn the context of ESA’s open call for proposals “Clean Energy from Space” which sought novel ideas related to Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) systems\, Astrostrom GmbH has been investigating the feasibility of the “Greater Earth Lunar Power Station” (GE⊕-LPS) designed to provide power from space to operations on the lunar surface. This is a crewed facility in lunar orbit that will be constructed primarily from lunar materials. If shown to be both feasible and scalable\, manufacturing future Solar Power Satellite (SPS) components from lunar materials and transporting these to geostationary orbit (GEO)\, would be a means to avoid the need to launch hundreds or thousands of massive SPSs from the surface of the Earth in order to supply environmentally benign\, baseload electricity to Earth.  […] The GE⊕-LPS is a is a concept that advances lunar development in order to contribute to terrestrial energy production. The construction of GE⊕-LPS with lunar materials requires developing facilities on the Moon for automated mining and manufacturing processes. […] The establishment of industrial-scale beneficiation and processing plants will provide access to several materials\, which may become valuable to other users in the cislunar region. In addition to small amounts of Helium-3\, a vast amount of oxygen will be produced as a by-product which can be used in life support systems and as rocket propellant\, thereby creating business cases for new cislunar enterprises. GE⊕-LPS is being designed to provide plentiful electrical power for lunar activities; serve as a gateway between Earth and Moon operations; and be a prototype for future space settlements and tourism in cislunar space. As it is foreseen that the energy production functions of the GE⊕-LPS concept can be scaled to any dimension\, larger versions could be positioned in Earth orbit to provide much needed clean\, continuous solar electricity for terrestrial users. Driven by the ever-growing energy market on Earth\, a two-planets economic system will emerge\, which will dramatically lower the costs of transporting people and resources between LEO and the lunar surface\, and accelerate the growth of many new cislunar businesses. As such\, the GE⊕-LPS project unites the aims of lunar development with widely shared aspirations for expanded space activities\, while also addressing the critical energy and environmental needs of human civilization on Earth. \nShort bios\n\nArthur R.

SUMMARY:An 18th SDG: Space for All\, on Earth and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nSince 2015\, reusable rockets have dramatically decreased the cost of transportation from Earth to orbit. Such process is paving the path toward a civilian space development and astropolitical uses of space as well. 2015 can now be identified as a “turning point” in history\, signifying a change of paradigm\, from “traditional” aerospace to a “new space” age.The U.N. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, adopted in 2015\, was conceptualized during the traditional aerospace age: outer space was not considered\, as a dimension that helps to increase the sustainability of development. A similar complete denial of the contribution of space to sustainability was the so-called “limits to growth” concept\, issued by the Club of Rome and the MIT in 1972. Despite all the dismissive denials\, space science and technologies are supporting social and environmental goals on Earth\, for many years. Yet that will not be enough. To allow a real sustainable development\, it is indispensable and urgent to start a civilian space development\, outside Earth boundaries. In order to decrease our ecological footprint on planet Earth\, we don’t need to reduce or stop our development\, that would imply a rapid decay of civilization. As stated in the 1986 U.N. resolution\, development is a universal civil right\, therefore we need a more advanced concept of sustainability: the only way to moderate their footprint on Earth\, for 8 billion terrestrials\,  would be to commence development elsewhere.The UN 2030 Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals needs to be updated\, to encompass space as an essential asset for sustainable development\, on Earth and beyond. \nInterest is growing around such proposal\, and several space development and advocacy groups are joining together to support this idea including the National Space Society International Committee\, Space Renaissance International\, Expanding Frontiers\, The Beyond Earth Institute\, and many others. \nThe above alliance is proposing an 18th SDG to be added: \n“Space for All\, on Earth and Beyond\, a civilian-led space development\, with human communities living and working in outer space to expand and multiply benefits to all the peoples of Earth.” \nDuring the virtual event of 12 June 2023\, all of the promoters will announce the #Space18SDG initiative to the world\, providing a choral presentation of their rationales and motivations for supporting this great historic campaign. \nA report will also be provided about the COPUOS(*) 66th session\, 31 May – 9 June\, in which the NSS representatives will officially propose the 18th SDG to the COPUOS State Parties. \nAmong the Speakers\nAl Anzaldua (NSS)\, Bernard Foing (SRI)\, Bob Zubrin (The Mrs Society)\, Frederick Jenet (NSS)\, Karlton Johnson (NSS)\, Marlène Losier (SRI)\, Frank White (HSP)\, Steve Wolfe (BEI)\, Sam Coniglio (Space Tourism Society)\, Adriano V.

SUMMARY:The Role of Space Habitat Technology in Developing Robust Sustainable Communities on Earth
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nAlthough most advocates of space settlement have focused on the potential value of natural resources and energy from space to nations on Earth the most important contribution will from the technology that will be developed to enable sustainable communities in space. The technologies necessary to create the closed cycle economy that is required for communities in space will result in the creation of similar closed cycle economies on Earth enabling humanity to increase its independence of the cycles of nature that have impacted societies throughout history. Remote work\, robotic mining\, controlled environment agriculture\, molecular agriculture\, resource recycling and additive manufacturing will transform the Earth’s economy far more that the actual import of resources and energy from space by enabling society to make more efficient use of Earth’s limited resources. The theme of building communities in space will accelerate the research and integration of these technologies to create a new economic revolution that will transform human society. This theme also has the potential to reinvigorate the increase students in STEM fields by providing them with a worthwhile goal they would be able to personality contribute to achieving. \n\nA short bio\nThomas Matula\, Ph.D. is a Professor of Business Administration at Sul Ross State University – Rio Grande College. A futurist\, Dr. Matula\, research focus has been on the economic history of humanity and its expansion into space. His most recent research has been on crafting strategies for developing sustainable space communities and their potential benefits to creating a sustainable economy on Earth. Dr. Matula earned his BGS in General Studies from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in 1983 and both an MBA and a Ph.D. in Business Administration from New Mexico State University. While at New Mexico State University\, Dr. Matula was part of the Southwest Regional Spaceport Task Force that created Spaceport America and used the research he conducted on the spaceport as his dissertation topic. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Space Renaissance International and the Space Renaissance Academy. Dr. Matula has published numerous articles on the economic development of space and the space industry.\n\nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/live/vlO8C5Vu3Vk\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/240474718478628/

SUMMARY:Juice - Journey to Jupiter\, with Ulrich Köhler
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\n“We have a mission to Jupiter!” – Those were the words of Andrea Accomazzo\, flight director of the latest ESA mission after successful launch of the JUICE spacecraft on April 14th. The pre-last Ariane 5 rose and shot precisely through the clouds in Kourou and deployed JUICE in an orbit around the sun where it will be accelerated until 2029\, reaching Jupiter in 2031. Then the scientific mission will begin\, orbiting Jupiter and visiting its three icy moons Europa\, Ganymede\, and Callisto. 35 Flybys are planned\, 11 experiments will be performed\, 1.4 Gigabyte of data expected – each day at the flybys. Then follows the highlight of the JUICE mission\, when the craft will be entering orbit around Ganymede in 2034 – the first space probe to circle another planet’s satellite. One of the main goals of this outstanding mission will be confirming oceans under the surface of the big icy moons of Jupiter. What an exciting scientific journey! \nA short 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\nLinks\nFollow the livestream on the Space Renaissance Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/live/25MUncHyNgM\nClick ‘going’ to the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1291298758434912/

SUMMARY:Space Psychology & Human Factors - Celia Avila-Rauch
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nPsychology is a science that studies the human mind and its functions\, primarily those that affect human behaviour. Psychology promotes productive and effective communication\, avoids unnecessary conflicts and regulates our mood\, motivation\, resilience and self-esteem. Psychology explores the concepts of perception\, attention\, emotion\, motivation\, brain functioning\, intelligence\, thinking\, personal relationships\, consciousness and unconsciousness. The importance of human adaptation to different environments has drawn the attention of psychologists to mental health and has led to the discovery of new areas of scientific research focused on the aerospace and aeronautical environment. \nSpace psychology refers to the application of psychology to evaluate human spaceflight. It includes the areas of industrial and organisational psychology to team selection\, individual and team mental preparedness\, team training\, ongoing psychological support\, and the application of human factors and ergonomics to spacecraft construction to ensure good habitability. Space psychology is focused on more than just pathology or dysfunctions but on personal development and optimisation of personal resources. We need to understand the psychological and social dimensions of space teams and where they will live during space missions. \nAnalog missions based on isolation habitats may provide information about how extreme environmental conditions and habitat design can affect our performance\, mental health\, and physiology. The members of the analogue mission have to deal with technologies\, ergonomics and communications. Cognitive and Emotional processes in high-performance teams refer to careers that require a high level of interaction with engineering and technology\, as well as with psychology and ergonomics\, physical and psychological changes due to the conditions they are subjected to (altitude\, pressures\, workload\, atmosphere) (Kanas et al.\, 2010). These adverse influences may negatively impact the performance of mission teams both on the ground and in flight. Every astronaut activity is aligned with national science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) standards. \nMissions represent a challenge but\, at the same time\, a high health risk\, especially in the psychological sphere. For this reason\, prior preparation is required\, simulating different scenarios. For example\, isolation\, confinement\, radiation\, reduced water consumption\, analogue environments\, lack of gravity\, distance from Earth\, etc.\, will increase the prevalence and severity of some affective\, cognitive\, physical and behavioural symptoms. We must understand that space tasks require a balance between people and machines. Therefore\, space scientists see the world from a different perspective. \nKeywords: Human Factors\, Human Behaviour\, Psychology and Performance \nEuroSpaceHub\, LUNEX EuroMoonMars\, International Moonbase Alliance\, NeuroTech Lab\, Space Renaissance International \nAn essential bio\nCELIA AVILA-RAUCH\, Psychotherapist-Coach-Supervisor\, Aviation and Space Psychologist\, Platzl 2\, 80331 Munich Germany  +49 1707327979 \nwww.windrose-coaching.de www.windroseglobaladvisors.de  windrosecoaching@outlook.com \nTrained at University of Girona (UdG)\, Master in Psychology Autonomous University Barcelona(UAB) Clinical psychologist and active cognitive behavioural psychotherapist.

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:Illustrating the Universe - Danielle Futselaar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAn astronomical publication reads much more pleasantly with some pictures. A picture of Jupiter or the Andromeda Galaxy for example. But what about subjects of which there are no pictures? Think of an exoplanet or an interstellar comet\, or a phenomenon discovered by radio telescope. Then ‘artist impressions’ bring salvation.\n\nAn essential bio\nDaniëlle Futselaar specialized in these scientifically sound illustrations. She started in 2001 as an independent graphic designer and illustrator. Since 2011\, she has regularly provided illustrations to various astronomical organizations. As a result\, her work appears in the media regularly\, including Nature\, American Scientist\, National Geographic\, The Washington Post and The New York Times. Her work has also appeared on the cover of Nature and American Scientist. She has written and illustrated a children’s book about the universe and illustrated books for André Kuipers and Govert Schilling. She is currently writing and illustrating for a new book. \n\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/878748413232781/

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

Autino: Closing remarks \nFrank White has authored or coauthored numerous books on topics ranging from space exploration to climate change to artificial intelligence. His best-known work\,The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution\, is considered by many to be a seminal work in the field of space exploration. A film called “Overview\,” based largely on his work\, has had nearly 8 million plays on Vimeo. White considers himself to be a “space philosopher\,” and has long advocated developing a new philosophy of space exploration. His book on this topic\, The Cosma Hypothesis: Implications of the Overview Effect\, has  been recently published. In it\, he asks the fundamental question\, “What is the purpose of human space exploration? Why has the evolutionary process brought humanity to the brink of becoming a spacefaring species?” In the book\, he shares the idea of “the Human Space Program” as a “central project” that will engage all of us in the process of becoming “Citizens of the Universe.” \nAnnahita Nezami: Annahita is a senior chartered psychologist providing consultation\, training\, and therapy. She is a systems thinker\, international speaker\, and researcher advocating for positive social change.

SUMMARY:Humanity expanding to space - with Jacob Mulder
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nHomo Sapiens is doing very well\, here on the planet we call Earth\, but the Sapients also notice that there are limits to growth. As Adriano Autino wrote in his “SRI Open Forum” statement of 17 November 2022\, the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals could and should be extended with an 18th one: kick-off civilian space development\, before 2030. A large and growing group of space enthusiasts are optimistic: the sky is no limit! But although getting in space is becoming cheaper and easier\, remaining there sustainably and safely is far from trivial. When really working together\, we can imagine\, specify and realize real solutions. That requires real co-creation and also collaboration focused on integration. And it requires a holistic way of working: not just moving to space\, but facilitating humanity expanding to space. Lead by science\, implemented commercially\, supported by education\, with sustainable health and safety\, nourishing diversity and culture and upholding our humanity. Boldly doing it\, now\, by creating a Space Nation. Humans have created nations before\, we know what to do and what not. This dedicated Space Nation\, Asgardia\, is about sharing goals and visions and about gathering all aspects of humanity\, worldwide – one humanity\, one unity. As Minister of Manufacturing of Asgardia\, I will show a few examples of necessary activities and their current status.\nWorldwide collaboration is crucial\, within that nation\, but also with groups like SRI\, MVA\, MPS\, UNOOSA\, and with commercial and governmental space industries and suppliers\, on all levels and all scales. Hesitation is not an option. Our cradle\, the Earth\, is calling clearly: it’s time to act now. The future is clear – it can be done\, we are ready\, in all those groups\, organizations and companies. And this Space Nation will help facilitate it. Humankind is ready for this giant leap: humanity will expand to space.\n \nAn essential bio\n\nJacob Mulder was born in 1966\, living in the North of the Netherlands\, is married\, with 2 twin daughters and 5 grandchildren. Jacob Studied Astronomy and Information Technology at the University of Groningen\, the Netherlands. He works as IT Security & Enterprise Architect at CGI\, a large multinational in IT business consulting and systems integration. He is Chair of Paletzorg\, a partnership of about 70 independent small-scale care companies\, and related service providers in the Northern Netherlands. Jacob is quite active in Diversity\, Equity\, Accessibility and Inclusion\, in various contexts. He is Minister of Manufacturing at Asgardia\, the Space Nation. Gravity squeezes his spine and as a result\, he is in a reclining electric wheelchair\, so he wants to – needs to – emigrate to space\, around 2036. \n\nLinks\nFollow the Livestream on the Space Renaissance YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/gkZgycHvH9o\nand click ‘going’ on the Facebook Event:https://www.facebook.com/events/1159878604670729

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.

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.

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”.
