Food for Thought – The New Space Age
Half a century after we last set foot on the Moon, and a decade after the Space Shuttle was retired, a vibrant new private sector led by SpaceX and Blue Origins plans to launch supplies cheaply into Earth orbit and give anyone a joy ride into space. Permanent bases on the Moon and Mars are now within reach, and a new space race with China is brewing. Medical advances might even allow us to reach for the stars. The time has come to envision our future off-Earth.
