Creator of Stars Voyager

I believe, deeply, that the future of the human race lies in space.   I believe the next step in the evolution of the human race is the application of human intelligence to the problems of space travel.   I believe it is our destiny to expand out into the Cosmos and take all forms of life with us, taking life to places where it could not previously exist.   I believe this is also at the core of the spiritual meaning in our lives.   I believe the next step in this process is the commercial development of Low Earth Orbit by New Space.  Before we can do anything else we must first establish safe, economical transportation from the surface of this beautiful planet to Low Earth Orbit.    I support the efforts of all those striving to bring about safe, economical human transportation to LEO: Dr Peter Diamandis, Burt Rutan, Paul G Allen, Jeff Greason, Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Anousheh Ansari, Robert Bigelow and Jeff Bezos to name just a few of the more prominent New Space identities.   I applaud their efforts and I make my own contribution by creating Stars Voyager, it will launch on Monday 4 July 2011 - Space Independence Day, the 235th US Independence Day.  Stars Voyager is a daily Internet TV quiz show on YouTube.   There are 3 contestants, the prize is an XCOR Lynx space flight.  By offering a space flight as a prize, on a regular basis, on an Internet TV quiz show my colleagues and I are bringing the possibility of space travel within the reach of all people, not merely those who are very prosperous or very specialty skilled - democratizing space for everyone, all humanity.
