Space colonies Alaska’s hope.
Alaska must begin preparations to participate in moon-Mars space colonization. This participation is necessary because Alaska’s policy-shaping circles have surrendered to a virtual dictatorship of the post-industrial society ideology that says civilization no longer needs to produce physical products to survive.
This post-industrial society ideology now dominating Alaska’s major news media and educational institutions is one of the most destructive forces in Alaska today. To counter this destructive influence, we must assert a goal-setting strategy based on challenging Alaskans to produce the physical products necessary for space colonization.
The same plasma technologies that will be required to make Alaska the world’s No. 1 exporter of strategic materials can be miniaturized and launched into space. Thus, Alaska’s material domestic interest in resource development becomes the entry point into space colonization.
Participating in moon-Mars space colonization will help to create a sense of purpose and direction while fulfilling man’s duty to ascend into the heavens. A society that has lost its sense of purpose will soon lose its moral ability to survive. Therefore, the act of creating the physical ability to participate in space colonization will prove the economic superiority of a goods-producing society.
Purpose and direction protect civilization from destruction, producing the physical products for space colonization can help to provide that purpose and direction.
