The Next Great Frontier: How Space Exploration Benefits Humanity on Earth | Eric Hinterman | TEDxMIT

Learn why space exploration, and settlement, is not only beneficial for humans on Earth through the technologies it develops but also critical for the survival of our species in the distant future.

The way space exploration is becoming more common, and the new space entrepreneurs like the one I interviewed a few weeks back, are coming up with new innovative ideas, is just mindblown. Kinda feels scary, to be honest!

It is essential if you are to undertake space travel that *your planet become one community.* That is a requirement. All worlds undergo this. They must be unified to communicate beyond their realm or they cannot do it, and their technology will become destructive.

From: Greater Community Spirituality, Chapter 23: How is Knowledge translated in the Greater Community?

Travel outside this solar system may be possible within the next two centuries, but we say “may be possible” because
*you will have to face the great environmental change that is occurring in your world, *
which has the power to undermine human civilization.
*And you also have to face the consequences of intervention in your world, *
which could usurp human authority here and *place humanity under foreign control and domination.*
Either of these two events could alter the course of human destiny thoroughly, could stifle and control humanity’s accomplishments and its destiny as a free and self-determined peoples in the universe.

From: The Allies of Humanity Book Three, Sixth Briefing: Greater Community Realities

By *Marshall Vian Summers*

I don't know who needs to hear this, but everything is going to be fine. Release all negative thoughts and relax

Seriously though we need to be grounded until we all on this ball of dust can play nice with each other!

[AdamShaiken]

Frankly, until all members of this species learns to live here on earth in peace and love instead of fear and hate then we have no business attempting to go anywhere !!!!

Thanks for this video, I can understand better with subtitles and it helps me to improve mi English =D

Sure space exploration will benefit humanity to a certain limitative extent. But in a higher truth self-exploration is what we truly need as individuals and a society to bring more harmony to this Earth-existence.

[ugaasfoodey]

To be sincerely speaking in my humble opinion without being sentimental and of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my opinion but rather looking into this serious matter with perspective distinction and without condemning anyone's point of view, i honestly think and believe that i have nothing to say.
Thank you.

My comment was deleted and I find that very interesting… we are already facing an extinction event (the sixth one).

I wish to see humans settle on Mars. That's a huge day for humanity. At first people would sail the oceans with ships and that would take months. Now we have planes and can get to another continent within hours. Or at least a day. I hope to see travelling to Mars available in my lifetime.

[meejinhuang]

Space exploration needs to be done by robots, not humans. It will be foolish to send one human when for the same cost you can send 100+ robots to farther planets. Robots can be the ones doing settlement and further exploration beyond the solar system.

[tinathompson]

We need to focus on the earth we have before we go trying to live on another planet.

[shirishat]

Loved this video! Truly motivating. Thank you. 🙂

[auturgicflosculator]

Fix the gravity concerns and I'd be more interested in being on Mars. As it is I'd rather be in a rotating 1G habitat controlling a mining robot or something. Lots of cool possibilities once that issue's gone~

[satwikdas]

Wow! Finally found my answer and with alot of insights! 💯❤️

[dennismitchell]

I remember a
Armstrong's first step. All that technology was going to make Earth a better place, but more habitat has been lost, more pollution, more pesticides, better make good on those promises before you create more problems with your technology.

[kleinerflugel]

This is what I always try to make the earth-bias people understand. I am having a hard time explaining to them. They go like "Oh common, there are lot problems on earth and you assuming to go to another planet?" or something like "Why don't we solve the problem here on earth first?". They instead choose to ignore your argument and choose to stay close-minded. Damn those who forget their objective side just to look as "someone who has a good sense of wisdom in life". Damn those people who look beyond reasons.

Fun fact: They are the ones who will ostracize you.

Our Space 🧠👀 needs to be more e X plored and a 💕 ful education 🌐 to be discovered !🛸🎶🎶🎶
And again and again and again 🤔

[NorthCountry]

Space travel gave us mypillow, Oakley blades, brita water filters….alright cool

[luzcole]

I am all for space exploration and learning. But I'm not sure if humanity populating the cosmos is a good idea. At least until we get our s*** together.
