Description
Let’s start with this great quote that I’ve found in the opening of Neil deGrasse Tyson book titled : Starry Messenger, Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization.
“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it.
From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say,
“Look at that, you, s......b.....” “
This quote is from : Edgar D. Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut.

This course is largely inspired from NASA website.
And to quote again Neil deGrasse Tyson from his book : Starry Messenger, Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization.
“… imagine the day when all of civilization becomes spacefaring. Routine access to space will turn the Solar System into Earth’s backyard. With that access comes unlimited space-borne resources, rendering an entire category of human conflict obsolete. Access to space may be more than just the next frontier to explore; it could be civilization best hope for survival. “
