Charting the High Frontier of Space | Ed Lu

We live in societies around the world where “experts” run the show. Given the profound changes that are unfolding in our global economies and societies, we need to shift to explorers who can help us craft new pathways that can create far more value for all of us.

Apart from a very limited amount of state sponsorship, it was usually the prospect of commercial gain or of new lands for settlement which funded exploration – a misleading term, which usually signified the ‘mapping’ of existing trade paths through local informants. But the propulsion of economic or demographic need was spasmodic at best.

Aujourd’hui, de nouvelles frontières nous appellent – la Lune, Mars et au-delà. L’Homme continuera toujours d’explorer, non par nécessité pour sa survie, mais parce qu’il est habité par ce besoin de comprendre quelle est sa place dans l’Univers.
