SpaceCom, the Space Commerce Conference and Exposition, supported by NASA’s Johnson Space Center, since it’s beginning in 2015 has become one of the most important events in the United States, dedicated to commercial applications of space technologies. Concluding a very intense 2018, in which SRI participated in several important space events — the Space Renaissance

The 69th Congress of the International Astronautical Federation took place in the halls of the Bremen exhibition center from 1 to 5 October. Great success both for the public and for the speakers, despite the enrollment fees definitely out of budget for many: more than 6300 registered participants, of which almost 50% very young, more
The key element of this paper is to identify key recommendations and future strategies to accompany the transition from the current space exploration approach, towards an innovative concept of “space industrialization”, which includes the construction and maintenance of space infrastructures directly in space, also by reusing space debris and space resources, and by developing new capabilities for civil passenger transportation and accommodation in space.

Space Renaissance will be present at IAC2018 in Bremen, October 1st to 5th! The title “Involving everyone” is particularly suitable and interesting, perfectly in tune with our main goal: to kick-off the civilian space development, civilization expansion into outer space, industrialization of the geo-lunar space, developing civil passengers transportation and accommodation in space. We will promote the paradigm change: from space exploration to space settlement! Our presentation “Building in Space: first steps in civil expansion beyond Earth” will be given October 3rd, in the morning, during the D4.2 Symposium

The development of the NewSpace sector, which is triggered by the advent of reusable rockets, new materials and processes, including additive layer manufacturing technologies, is quickly generating a unique industrial and cultural revolution. This remarkable paradigm has the inherent capacity of ensuring the right to development for all Earthlings, as was stated by the UN “Declaration on the Right to Development” in 1986. In progressively shifting the context and burden of industrial development outwards from the Earth’s surface, it will also support the goals of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. This important potential describes the social perspective that we have called the “Space Renaissance”.

In this short speech at UNISPACE+50, in Wien, the President of Space Renaissance International points out that eight billion terrestrials can save the civilization only by kicking-off immediately the civilian expanse into outer space. But such a challenge is not properly considered, by the decision makers. And it is essential to give the highest priority to it.

Vienna 18-22 June 2018 – The Space Renaissance International Association will participate to the UNISPACE +50 conference, the first United Nations Global Space Summit of the 21st century, organised by the UNOOSA (UN Office for Outer Space Affairs) in Vienna from 18-22 June 2018.

Fifty years ago, the young generations rebelled and demonstrated for freedom and equal opportunities for all peoples in the world, regardless of the latitude where they were born or whatever social class that they belonged to. Our heroes were the poets and musicians of the beat generation, of whom Bob Dylan is perhaps the most unanimously recognized representative. A couple of months ago Elon Musk launched his car on a Falcon Heavy into space. This gesture was highly symbolic, as Musk is saying that we shall continue our civilian activities — particularly industrial development — in outer space. We must not expect the messengers of the Renaissance to always present themselves in the same form…

On February 6, 2018 SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy for the first time, the most powerful operative rocket of the world.
What are the more innovative ideas which allowed SpaceX to deliver payloads to orbit that are three times greater than its main competitor at one sixth of the cost? The main point is the reusability, that utilizes existing technologies in the framework of a newer and pragmatic strategy. The important factors for Elon Musk, are both the vision and the mission requirements which are fairly different from the traditional objectives of the space agencies. While the latter emphasize scientifically oriented space exploration as their strategic priority, Musk aims to actually accelerate the evolution of humanity into a spacefaring species that creates a multi-planetary civilization.

In this excellent interview, Jeff Greason explains in plain and simple words why civilization needs to expand into the outer space, why the expansion shall be a manned one, and why we need it now, and not in a distant future. About the basic socio-economic need for civilian space development, Jeff says: “There are many reasons which are true, but I find secondary, though others find them compelling. For example, the industrial and economic development of space is going to require both machines and people – just as has been the case in all past economic development efforts. And that economic development will drive some significant features of life on Earth. For example, raising the standard of living of everyone on the planet to “first world” levels is going to require something like 30% increase in the energy use of human civilization, and space is about the only place to get that (if you didn’t know, the solar system has about a billion Earth’s worth of energy available).”
