Lunarology
“If God wanted man to become a spacefaring species, he would have given man a Moon.” Krafft A. Ehricke, 1984 [1] Arthur Woods (*), May 1, 2026 Greater Earth is a region defined by the Earth’s gravitational field, which includes the Moon. The region outside Earth’s atmosphere and extending out to just beyond the Moon’s orbit, including the Earth-Moon Lagrangian points, is referred to as cislunar space and contains approximately 95% of all of humanity’s space assets. Geolunar space is the region from the Moon to the Earth-Sun Lagrangian points located 1.5 million km outwards where the Earth’s gravitational influence is counter balanced by that [...]
Transforming the Fossil Fuel Age into the Space Energy Age
The Space Energy Option Humanity is at a crossroads: we must decide if we prefer to live and prosper in an energy-rich world or attempt to survive in an energy poor-one. Finding a viable solution to the impending energy and climate crises confronting humanity is urgently necessary. The fundamental causes of these interrelated issues are the many environmental and geopolitical issues associated with the continued use of fossil fuels added to the fact that these are projected to become harder to extract, to distribute, and are more conflict prone. Policies to reduce energy consumption, and inadequate measures currently being implemented [...]
Enabling Peace off, with, and on Earth
The biggest obstacles to space development and to civilisation in general, are the wars over energy and other resources we are currently witnessing. The current period of shared prosperity, built upon and supported by a reliable global supply of fossil fuels is coming to an end. Today, more than two-thirds of the world’s traded fossil fuels comes from countries affected by war, sanctions, or blockades. This has made fossil fuel supplies increasingly limited and fragile, with a constant risk of further disruption. At the same time, easily available oil and mineral reserves are being depleted, economies are weak, debt is [...]
The Space Option
The Space Option is about humanity making the right choice at the right time. Space visionaries and pioneers long ago quietly and consequently developed both the scientific rationale and the technological concepts to open the space frontier. Upon these works is the development of a concept called The Space Option and, because this option offers humanity the most “optimistic” pathway to sustainability and prosperity, it is a choice humanity will most likely make in order to maintain its well-being and insure its ultimate survival. The Space Option concept has a dual origin. It follows from the search [...]
Greater Earth
A New And Transformational Perception of Our Planet Since the beginning of human history the perception of its home planet Earth has always influenced the way humanity has formulated its beliefs and conducted its affairs. When Earth was perceived of as the entire universe it gave rise to myths and religions that permeate and influence society into the present time. Space exploration has provided humanity a perception of the “Whole Earth” – a blue sphere defined by its atmosphere floating in the vast expanses of the cosmos. This perception has catalyzed the globalization of its cultures and [...]
