21stcenturywaves.com is a blog that discusses the future of space exploration.
Our strategic approach in this blog is different: We use patterns in long-term trends in the economy, technology, and society that have repeated for the last 200 years to give us insight into the next 20!
Indeed, the lesson of the last 200 years is that the future of the next 20 years is so bright, you’ll probably need shades! Major Apollo-style technology and space programs will soon announce the opening of the next international race to space. That’s the highly likely good news. The possible bad news is that we can miss this opportunity for human expansion into the cosmos. If we do, the last 200 years indicate our next shot will be near the end of this century.
Our blog philosphy is to tell you what the last 200 years suggest will happen, not necessarily what we personally want to occur. And although we do talk politics, we don’t officially endorse candidates because our fundamental interest is in evaluating our space colonization forecasts against events and trends from the real world. This reality-based blog about the near-term future in space will tell a generally positive story, simply because that’s what the last 200 years strongly suggest.
