Hello-o-o-o is anybody out there-e-e-e?

I maintain that within 50-100 years the earth's population will have
topped out. That is the rate of emigration to live in the "tin cans"
will start to exceed earth's population increase rate.

Where will the money come from for such a venture?

All we have to do is convince the investors that human nature has
not changed since 16th thru 19th centuries. Families will still spend
their life savings for passage & getting started in a new environment
just like they did coming to Americas.

Costs to operate & maintain a mass transit space shuttle + construction
of the new space colonies + a handsome return to the owners will come
from each emigrating family. Problem we face is how to enlighten
the minds of the world's venture capitalists to these facts.

Any ideas/comments? Ed S.
