Hi Fellow Space Colony Enthusiasts,
being as we all
believe in freedom of speech and the pursuit of truth,
do any of these ten statements sound familiar ?
1)I shall always chart my course according to the basic
laws and principles of my particular country.
2)I shall never cross orbits with the Rights and
Beliefs of others.
3)I shall blast at full space-speed to protect the
Weak and Innocent.
4)I shall stay out of collision orbit with the laws
of my society and/or community.
5)I shall cruise in parallel orbit with my peers and
mentors.
6)I shall not roar my rockets unwisely and shall be
courteous at all times.
7)I shall keep my gyros steady and reactors burning by
being Industrious and Thrifty.
8)I shall keep my scanner tuned to Learning and remain
coupled to my Studies.
9)I shall keep my mind out of Free-fall by being
mentally alert.
10)I shall blast the meteors from the paths of other
people by being Kind and Considerate.
(I slightly altered some original words for
International reasons-none of us chooses the country
we were born in-none of us got to choose our parents-
and most of us are stuck with whatever language or
religion we were raised with-we all have more in
common with each other if we look for simularities
rather than differences).I slill believe we will only
succeed in getting started building Space Colonies by
informing the Common Man and Common Woman about the
potential for Space Colonies to improve the standard
of living for so many People for thousands of years
to come,we could bring an end to poverty,and no,I am
not talking about utopia,Human Beings will never
be perfect.Many are ignorant about Space and will
be reluctant to contribute time or effort unless
informed about the wealth and resources waiting for
us to go get them,we can bring an end to poverty for
most of Humanity if we work together to build the
Space Colonies that Gerard K.O'Neill and his
Engineering Students envisioned at Princeton
University.
Have drawn four posters,one shows the
distance of the Planets from the Sun;one shows the
size of the Sun and Planets;one shows the Earth-Moon
Lagrange Points;one shows the Sun-Earth Lagrange
Points.For a free copy of these posters,please email
me a postal address,I will mail them to you,and you
are free to do with my posters what you want to.
Cordially,John Hadden
