“Man is merely a frequent effect, a monstrosity is a rare one, but both are equally natural, equally inevitable, equally part of the universal and general order. And what is strange about that? All creatures are involved in the life of all others, consequently every species... all nature is in a perpetual state of flux. Every animal is more or less a human being, every mineral more or less a plant, every plant more or less an animal... There is nothing clearly defined in nature.” MenHumansStatesScienceOrderNaturalHuman BeingsAnimalEffectsStrangeInvolvedCreaturesUniversalPlantSpeciesDefinedInevitablePerpetualMineralsFluxMonstrosity Author:John Dewey
“There are three reasons, . . . apart from scientific considerations, mankind needs to travel in space. The first . . . is garbage disposal; we need to transfer industrial processes into space so that the earth may remain a green and pleasant place for our grandchildren to live in.

The third . . . our spiritual need for an open frontier.” NeedsFirstsMayReasonEarthSpiritualThreeEnergyProcessSpaceForeverMankindPlanetsMaterialsWalkingMoonResourcesThirdsGreenSpreadPleasantAbundanceConsiderationGrandchildrenFiniteGarbageFrontiersTransfersStar GazingMineralsSolar EnergyGarbage Disposal Author:Freeman Dyson
