DESCRIPTION
On the occasion of 50 years of spaceflight, Space Generation Advisory Council undertook a study to map the visions for the next 50 years, led by a small group of volunteer members - Bee Thakore, Alex Karl, Tiffany Frierson, Kathleen Coderre, Agnieszka Lukaszczyk. This is a executive summary of the collection of 750 unique space visions of our futures and the recommendations offered youth groups actively involved in space activities and advocacy to industry and UN leaders. Presented at various conferences and seminars - including UN COPUOS, International Space University Symposium, IAF, IAA and IAC.

Why should the SpaceGeneration be heard?
Forecasting the future is like going through a foliage with an experiencedranger - they would be able to see the surroundings differently, identify the
dangers and spot the opportunities, that the untrained eye would miss.James Canton, The Extreme Future

50 years visions of theSpace GenerationBackground
To relay the visions of the Space Generation to theBoston University Brainstorming session on the next50 years of space activities
Key Objectives Project and idea incubation Create a competitive yet collaborative and inclusive
effort to compiling visions from all corners Give two youth candidates the exposure to a brain
storm with world leaders Take the message to policy makers and draw
attention to youth mandate22 Feb 200812th ISU Annual Symposium “Space Solutions to Earth’s Global Challenges” 5
Methodology overview
Survey & Key Findings What will space look like in the next 50 years? How can we learn from our history on earth as we
move into this next frontier? How can we create opportunities for sustainable,
beneficial and effective use of space? Who will decide these questions? How will conflict of interests be settled? What new systems, structures and paradigms do we
need as we begin this new adventure?

Specific RecommendationsNext 5 years
Research intominimizing dependenceon oil
• space solar power• renewables andalternative sources
More privatespace: send decisionmakers to space forthe humblingexperience

The Message8 things the next generation wants thespace world to consider Improvement of communication (and IT) infrastructure, bringing
information and education to even the farthest villages Develop technology to use the ores & energy sources available
beyond the Earth: A NEW MANHATTAN PROJECT IS NEEDED The search for outer planets with life should continue Greater involvement and participation of women More effort needs to be given to collaborative NEO Tracking
initiatives Formalization and passage of a space code of conduct and the
drafting of an international declaration of human intent toestablish a peaceful space faring civilization.
Set up of an international moon/mars base with operations similarto the ISS
Improvement of rapid response on disasters: Earth based/spacebased, especially for ‘developing’ or ‘third world countries’ whichdo not have indigenous tools
Some unique responses “You cannot ‘cure’ poverty with a satellite!” A demonstration of space solar power as a means for
providing electricity to remote and underdeveloped partsof the world can be perhaps be demonstrated by 2015
Poverty can solve itself. It is a matter of political willpowerto invest in money and people to redistribute store to thepoor; Partners in health in Rwanda.
I can solve the energy problem. My machine can… Earth observation satellites can be used to improve
agriculture and severe weather preparedness/response.Additionally, it can be used to track deforestation andclimate change
Cheaper access to space: a functioning space elevator,heavy lift vehicle, RLV, Lunar governance, Moon-Marsbases/colonization
Enhance space research - space based vaccines in anisolated environment (a drug to cure AIDS)?
