Space – The Gateway for Mankind’s Future

Albert Einstein has been quoted to say:  “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space.”

Man first began thinking of space by looking-up to the skies, the stars, and imagining. Millenniums past before mankind could travel to space and begins to unfold its possibilities and mysteries; to harness space for its own purposes and benefits. Today, we celebrate the human race achievement, and future possibilities to come.

Space is non- sovereignty entity, belonging universally to all, without borders or limits.  Space science, exploration and usage has become a fundamental and primary ingredient of the global character, aspiring optimism and boosting development to further enhance life on planet earth.

How does Space benefits mankind?  One can notes countless ways, but, let’s examine the following primary aspects.

Space as an Instrument for International Cooperation and Partnership

The high cost of space research, development, and execution of space projects, has generated the necessity of international cooperation, which has developed globally into a very common practice in the field of space R&D, mostly enjoying comparable technological capabilities and know-how.  Said collaborations present an excellent opportunity to learn and assimilate diverse experiences, cultural nuances, educational methodic, opening the door for further understanding and tolerance between people and nations.

With the budgetary climate these days and expansion of space-faring nations members,  a strong international cooperation and collaboration is imperative, if a country desires to succeed in its space endeavors. A shining example of joint international cooperation and collaboration is the International Space Station-ISS;

Space as an Instrument for Earth Observation for Peaceful Purposes 

Planet Earth is a living entity, perpetually changing, affecting every living creature on its surface, and above.  The implementation and the adaptation of space technology for peaceful uses are essential, in order to ensure the survival of all living, growing, and flying life.

Space science, exploration, and technology are the prime contributor for attaining successful eradication of poverty, disaster management, improving health care, environmental stability and development, communications, spider network,  maritime control and navigations, just to name a few.

Each and every one can be achieved via peaceful purposes, and a wise diligent usage of Earth Observation.

Space as an Instrument for Education’s Boost

Space is the stuff that dreams are made off; it is the force which compels the fascination of present and future generations, directing all ages to explore science in all its diverse facets, to learn and dream of reaching beyond planet earth.

Science and space exploration drives today the knowledge and desire for aptitude in schools and universities; to invent and develop new technologies; to assist, enhance, and contribute to the many impediments facing the human race; better communications, computerization, medicine, environment, resources, materials, and alike.   The students of today are the scientists of tomorrow; the ones which shall ensure the survival of planet earth for future generations.

Space as an Instrument to Increases Diplomatic Ties and Political Benefits

Space increases diplomatic ties and cooperation, resulting in political benefits for the partnering countries.  It is understood that not all counties are equal, but, all benefit from mutual collaboration.

Space collaboration and partnership provides each partnering country with an increase in its sustainability power, increasing its own internal and external security; thereafter, multiplies its command of influence in the international arena.

Space as an Instrument to Create Global Industrial Partnership

Global industrial partnership does not always require government-to-government collaboration.  As such, global industrial partnership creates new innovations via R&D, exchange of information and ideas, joint research programs and manufacturing, and many other forms of cooperation.

Presently, space science and exploration, in all its elements, constitutes and outstanding platform for commercial collaborations, as it encompasses a multitude of advanced technologies and know-how.

At time, global industrial partnership even transpires between countries which do not have joint diplomatic relations, but economic necessity, and the strong inclination and drive to forge ahead, overcoming many difficulties and impediments.

Having a collaborating partner enables allotment of costs and funds between the collaborating entities, thus providing an excellent opportunity to achieve space exploration’s goals on a tighter budget

In Conclusion

Space science and exploration for peaceful purposes, affords ample benefits for mankind. It can provide significant advantages in monetary efficiency; diplomatic and political stability; increase labor force employment; boost and encourage economic constancy and standing; new technological developments and innovations, to name a few.

Space science and exploration is becoming the key to remedy difficulties and predicament facing mankind today, via solutions and augmentation of life quality.

Space science and exploration advances mankind in countless ways; moreover, it lifts and encourages the human spirit to reach beyond the stars.
