AMERICA RETURNS TO SPACE

The entire country is in awe of our return to the moon and that now our curiosity about space has returned and I hope it is maintained.

I thought I’d take this opportunity to share with you a story I wrote sone time ago about a society which thought space exploration was a waste of time and money. My story, Second Chance, is that story

Second Chance describes a distant planet where a society exists which can see no reason to explore space while there are so many problems its occupants face on a daily basis. Immediate problems take precedence over space exploration.

I’m sure we have all encountered individuals who are of the opinion that money is better spent on Earth rather than wasting it on space exploration. That opinion spells doom for the society in my story and leads eventually to conditions which cannot be reversed.

How do you think our planet will look in a few thousand years from now with space exploration, or without it?
