Dr. Charles Cockell, an extreme environment astro-biologist, argues that the role of environmentalists and space scientists/engineers are the same: to ensure humanity has a home. Those who are out to preserve the state of our planet or save it should work hand-in-hand with space scientists. Without space technology, we wouldn't even know the state of our planet from a 'bigger picture' perspective.As we move into a more conscious green collective, we as individuals should practice the preservation of our planet on a more accountable and active level. With the launch of the BFI's Worldchanging book, and Al Gore's eco-documentary and book: An Inconvenient Truth, we are seeing a change and active awareness insemination of self-destruction along with increasingly creative green practices.
I believe space and environment/planet goes hand-in-hand. And so does "grill" and "cheese". Those who think otherwise should take a look at how we got to be environmentalists in the first place. Our environment is our planet and part of a larger but varied, and often ephemeral eco-universystem.
