In this episode of “POTENTIALS . . . Envisioning the New Millennium,” host Barbara Marx Hubbard and the world famous science fiction author engage in a lively and provocative discussion as they explore the potential of humans in space. They vigorously promote space exploration and colonization, and envision the future of humans in space: working, traveling, living & adventuring. With his renowned humor in full gear, Pournelle refers to today s average person looking at the space shuttle, as akin to a primitive person hundreds of years ago seeing a Winnebago drive by. Pournelle envisions a world in which there is no more ecological damage, a world within which all people can be rich. An invigorating and thought provoking episode!
