StarTram: The New Race to Space

2.6/5 ( ratings)

StarTram, a new way to launch people and payloads into space at much lower cost than now possible, will soon radically change the world. How will the world change? Will it be a bright future or a dark future for humanity? We don’t know—nobody knows. The outcome will depend on our leaders and how we use this new technology. If the nations of the world cooperate, our future will be very bright: clean, low cost power beamed from space satellites to Earth, protection against global warming and threats from asteroids and comets, the mining of near-earth asteroids, real exploration of the Solar System and interstellar space, colonies on the Moon and Mars, space tourism, the discovery of extraterrestrial life forms, mining Helium-3 from the atmosphere of Uranus for return to Earth to fuel fusion reactors, and many other tremendous benefits.
