ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at vitalization process, and provides the survey of humankind's efforts to achieve magnificent goal on Earth and elsewhere. It presents the case for considering vitalization as humanity's destiny. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and other government agencies are developing a host of new programs to directly involve the public in the vitalization mission. The entry into the world of the outer bodies such as planets and asteroids, as explorers and colonizers, will be a key event in humanity's effort to improve the universe. For the first time human consciousness will begin to insinuate itself in the universe and spread organic life onto what have been barren worlds. On the International Space Station (ISS), humanity will be establishing a new center for creation and invention, a new locale for human activity. The first site for space tourism will probably be a space station such as the ISS.
