Prof. Bernard Foing — for 30 years ESA officer and tireless space activist — is the new elected President of Space Renaissance International.

Here’s the brief address Bernard pronounced during the Final Party:

“Thank you very much Adriano and all of you, dear friends and colleagues. It is really a honor and a pleasure for me to step into this task, of leading the Space Renaissance International, and all the initiatives we have been discussing. I want to give a special tribute to the Founders, our fathers founders! They gave us a great initial Constitution, the Statutes and also the initial direction. Thanks to all of you, who contributed to the recent Space Renaissance Congress. We discussed many ideas, concepts and contents, and we discussed the Theses documents, converging to our Final Resolution, that was adopted for the next five years. So, this part is a very clear line roadmap for what we could do. I am a man of soul, but also a man of action, I like to think with my hands too, well knowing they can help my brain. I want to pay tribute to the leaders of Space Renaissance International, in particular to Adriano, who has taken a very commitment and motivation to all of us. Then I rise this glass in honor of Adriano and all of our Directors.”

Taking the maximum cultural profit from our Congress. What is the main outcome of our Congress? It is constituted by the concepts that emerged during the presentations and discussions, the things we understood, or better clarified, thanks to the great collective work we made, since October 2020 to July 2021, through the webinar series and the five days of the Congress. During the next weeks and months we will produce several newsletters and articles, “mining” the conceptual contents. A few non exhaustive examples:

• the social inclusivity, as a 4th parameter to assess the level of a civilization (with reference to the Kardashev-Zubrin-Sagan scale)
• the solution of the energy issue on Earth, by moving the industries outside the planet, in the cislunar space
• the key and indispensable role of the new space industry to save and lead the global economy growth, overcoming the multiple crisis
• a gas strategy to kick-off the civilian space development before 2030
• a new enthusiastic aim to bring art in space, giving voice and visibility to many passionate space artists
• a new enthusiastic rush to give voice and representation to all of the Countries of Planet Earth, wherever there’s somebody aiming aim, out of this world
• the urgency and the opportunity to start recovering and reusing space debris

Just to name some of the many key concepts we discussed in this congress.
