The green revolution is necessary but not enough!

The green revolution is necessary but not enough!

The green revolution is necessary but not enough!

It is not a matter of “saving the planet”, but saving civilization and its development.
The only sustainable development is the one that aims at space, using the immense resources of the Solar System.

A 18th point shall be added to the agenda of the 17 UN 2030 sustainable development goals (SDG):

BOOTSTRAP A TRUE CIVIL EXPANSION IN SPACE!

Space Community: let’s wake up and fight for our solutions!
Stop following or denying the insufficient closed world recipes! Continue reading →

We don’t need a “Planet B”. We have an entire Solar System

We don’t need a “Planet B”. We have an entire Solar System

A million and a half students, even very young ones, took to the streets Friday March 15th, in two thousand cities around the world, for the climate, responding to a Greta Thunberg’s call. Greta is a 16-year-old student in Stockholm: “I will not stop. Not until greenhouse gas emissions have fallen below the alarm level.”  Considering the great support she had, it would seem that students were not waiting for anything else, with great outcry of the ecologists of various tendencies, who have for years repeated the same call, without being able to arouse mass movements of this magnitude.

Spacecom 2018, Houston, What’s Moving On The High Frontier

Spacecom 2018, Houston, What’s Moving On The High Frontier

SpaceCom, the Space Commerce Conference and Exposition, supported by NASA’s Johnson Space Center, since it’s beginning in 2015 has become one of the most important events in the United States, dedicated to commercial applications of space technologies. Concluding a very intense 2018, in which SRI participated in several important space events — the Space Renaissance Italia 2nd National Congress in May at INAF in Bologna, UNISPACE+50 in Vienna, IAC 69th in Bremen — we participated to Spacecom 2018, November 27th and 28th, in Houston, TX USA.

The 69th Congress of the International Astronautical Federation, in Bremen, celebrated NewSpace, without Musk, Bezos, and Branson.

The 69th Congress of the International Astronautical Federation, in Bremen, celebrated NewSpace, without Musk, Bezos, and Branson.

The 69th Congress of the International Astronautical Federation took place in the halls of the Bremen exhibition center from 1 to 5 October.

Great success both for the public and for the speakers, despite the enrollment fees definitely out of budget for many: more than 6300 registered participants, of which almost 50% very young, more than 2000 papers presented in the various symposia. The title of the Congress was very interesting: “Involving everyone”. This gave the impression that there was plenty of space at the Congress for the themes of civil development in space. The attention to the impetuous development of the NewSpace sector is now felt everywhere, and the most important global space congress could not avoid being impacted. After all, it is thanks to the growth of the NewSpace sector if the IAF Congress has recorded this remarkable success. But which were the predominant themes of the Congress? Has the promise announced in the title been kept? In part, yes, but a lot of work remains to be done. Continue reading →

The paper presented by A. Autino at IAC 2018

The paper presented by A. Autino at IAC 2018

The key element of this paper is to identify key recommendations and future strategies to accompany the transition from the current space exploration approach, towards an innovative concept of “space industrialization”, which includes the construction and maintenance of space infrastructures directly in space, also by reusing space debris and space resources, and by developing new capabilities for civil passenger transportation and accommodation in space.

Space Renaissance at International Astronautical Congress 2018, Bremen

Space Renaissance at International Astronautical Congress 2018, Bremen

Space Renaissance will be present at IAC2018 in Bremen, October 1st to 5th! The title “Involving everyone” is particularly suitable and interesting, perfectly in tune with our main goal: to kick-off the civilian space development, civilization expansion into outer space, industrialization of the geo-lunar space, developing civil passengers transportation and accommodation in space. We will promote the paradigm change: from space exploration to space settlement!  Our presentation “Building in Space: first steps in civil expansion beyond Earth” will be given October 3rd, in the morning, during the D4.2 Symposium

An Open Letter to UNISPACE+50 Conference

An Open Letter to UNISPACE+50 Conference

The development of the NewSpace sector, which is triggered by the advent of reusable rockets, new materials and processes, including additive layer manufacturing technologies, is quickly generating a unique industrial and cultural revolution. This remarkable paradigm has the inherent capacity of ensuring the right to development for all Earthlings, as was stated by the UN “Declaration on the Right to Development” in 1986. In progressively shifting the context and burden of industrial development outwards from the Earth’s surface, it will also support the goals of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. This important potential describes the social perspective that we have called the “Space Renaissance”.

Adriano Autino briefly talks to UNISPACE+50 conference in Wien, the July 19th 2018

In this short speech at UNISPACE+50, in Wien, the President of Space Renaissance International points out that eight billion terrestrials can save the civilization only by kicking-off immediately the civilian expanse into outer space. But such a challenge is not properly considered, by the decision makers. And it is essential to give the highest priority to it.

Elon Musk is the Bob Dylan of our Time

Elon Musk is the Bob Dylan of our Time

Fifty years ago, the young generations rebelled and demonstrated for freedom and equal opportunities for all peoples in the world, regardless of the latitude where they were born or whatever social class that they belonged to. Our heroes were the poets and musicians of the beat generation, of whom Bob Dylan is perhaps the most unanimously recognized representative. A couple of months ago Elon Musk launched his car on a Falcon Heavy into space. This gesture was highly symbolic, as Musk is saying that we shall continue our civilian activities — particularly industrial development — in outer space. We must not expect the messengers of the Renaissance to always present themselves in the same form…
