Together, we will examine the prospects being explored today. We will explore our place among the planets, the stars, and the universe. Our nature is to explore the frontier. Despite the fearful desire to stay where we are and live in the moment, we always travel forward in time. We face overwhelming problems as a species and as a society. Despair and hopelessness can drown us. Our drive to explore, solve problems, and dream about the future shines the light of hope and shows us who we are.
