Space flight has great potential to satisfy the human spirit. Specifically, the human spirit responds to the opportunity for the exploration of the unknown reaches of space. Further, the growing international cooperation that is required by today's ambitious space projects will advance the goal of a peaceful planet here on Earth as we learn to live together in space. We have no doubts that these new projects endorse the human spirit. The Association of Space Explorers likewise endorses these projects to allow the human spirit to flourish and expand.
Humanity requires dreams to help it contend with the difficulties of everyday life.
The hope and feeling of being able to realize such dreams is the asset that should be forwarded to our next generation. The Association of Space Explorers endorses strongly new bold space missions such as returning to the Moon or going to Mars, not just as dreams, but as achievements that can happen.
