NO ONE’S pursing colonization and Spaceflight program is ending now
Committing to space colonization enacts an overview effect, inaugurating the spirit of human wholeness and connectedness—this solves for human fragmentation and violent divisiveness.

the “Overview Effect” solves war as we shift to a more peaceful mindset.

Colonizing space will cause the next renaissance and promote universal prosperity and clarity THIS is Utopia.

Reject the idea of an absolutely “know” of the natural world the consideration of the overview effect opens a new space of knowledge

The plan eases supply shortages, colonizing allows for mining of He3 which sets up a new energy source

This prevents 2 scenarios :
scenario 1 is hegemony

Plan: The United States Federal Government should give assistance towards Mexico’s space program with the intent to colonize in space.
Advantage 1 Salvation
Governments are not investing in colonization in the status quo.
