Look to the Stars for Prosperity!

For many of us on planet Earth, the present is a time of unprecedented prosperity. For others, the journey to societal riches is only beginning. But can our planet sustain 7+ billion people?

Author and NASA scientist Les Johnson rejects the doomsayers. For there may well be another solution to the questions of resource scarcity and population growth. One that looks to the stars, not as an escape, but as a hope for life right here on Earth.
