Forty years ago, spacecraft from Earth were flown to the Moon by rockets which landed there. In each of six visits, two men from Earth walked on the surface of the Moon, collected samples, left measuring equipment, and returned safely to Earth.
In addition, the United States, Russia and Japan have sent unmanned probes to the Moon and beyond, to the other planets of the Solar System.
Several nations on the Earth are preparing further ventures to the Moon starting around the year 2020.
According to SpaceToday.Org, "In addition to the United States, the nations of Japan, Europe, China, India and Russia also are interested in exploring the Moon over the next two decades."
Change of scale:
Flight to the Moon was preordained, a mandate of Heaven, since half a billion years ago when life washed back and forth in the ebb and flow of lunar tides.
Evolution toward the Moon could no more be contravened than breathing. The Moon was the premier goal, so far as is known today, of evolution at least as far back as the early Cenozoic when the dinosaurs phased out because of heat energy.
The last six thousand years or so were, it appears, almost exclusively occupied by constructions, religions, ventures, contest, conflict and wars all devoted to flying to the Moon. The energy stored as elevated mass, in the sandstone blocks of the big Pyramids, is very likely an estimator of the energy that would be required to reach the Moon.
That work involved forced labor. As a consequence it must be assumed that to some extent by modern standards, all constructions since the early earth mounds in prehistoric Peru are tainted with that corruption. It is likely the entire six thousand years contains significant misconstruction.
With thousands of years of constructions and misconstructions all mixed up together, the world now has lots to do making itself habitable again. People should get used to the idea that returning the planet to normal in historical terms is the norm, whatever that it proves to be, and it is fraught with confusion. Decisions about what to keep and what to discard of the constructions during the most recent ten thousand years are a routine part of civilization throughout the world now.
Generally it appears to be going well. Where doubt surfaces, it may be helpful to review the conditions surrounding it in the long evolutionary view suggested here.

Evolution to the Moon
All of the biological history of the world since three galactic rotations ago - about 650 million years - was influenced by tidal activity to be continually sensitive to the Moon. Every living creature has tidal wash to and fro evolved into its cells. The Moon thus became a goal very early in Earth's history.
During at least 450 million years the Earth was dominated by cold-blooded reptilian dinosaurs. They evolved some flying forms, the Pterodactyl and Archeopteryx. But the Moon always remained beyond even their reach, though undoubtedly while in flight it was possible to sense the Moon's gravity apart from that of the Earth. With those early flying creatures, flight to the Moon became a possibility, then a precept, a dream, and finally a concept that endured.
Considering the duration of the cold-blooded and early mammalian life, human evolution took place in a very short time. Only thirty million years elapsed after the collapse of cold-blooded dinosaurs to the world dominance by warm blooded equivalents, including the flying, warm-blooded birds. The consummate demonstration of global mammalian supremacy entirely equivalent to and surpassing anything that dinosaurs ever did caused certain other factors to come into being. Mainly, these were walking upright on two legs, versatile hands free to work, and brains with bodies responsive to thought.
They did not all appear together at the same time. Ground running two-legged lizards had been around long before, and they had sanctioned the use of reasonably versatile hands. Brains, the most primitive forms of which were in the brain corals, had evolved in ancient ocean water the essential entropy-gradient filtering into the folded structures which exist in modern animal brains of all kinds. It's not clear whether brain corals are actually intelligent. They sort certain things efficiently; they are well practiced at it; and very good at using continuity, diffusion, flow, differentiation and other such equities in time independent ways.

From Wikipedia
It took about thirty million years to evolve monkeys into human beings and assemble all the parts that went into the first intelligent, upright, handy, smart human beings that would be obedient to the way of the Moon.
Monkey won. Pigsy lost, duck lost, donkey lost, cow and horse lost. Human beings, people, won the Moon.
One can imagine a scenario - some men were looking at the Moon and talking to a snake. The question came to their collective spirits, how far is it to the Moon. The snake, being a flatland sort of creature and working from long experience in climbing that raised its chin up off the Earth, suggested building a hill and climbing up on it. The men thought that was a good idea. They built a mound and climbed up on it. Nope, not high enough. But that's the right direction. They build more mounds, still not enough. They persuaded other people to build the mounds, and eventually began cudgeling the people to work on building mounds. Still it was not high enough. They punished people who refused, and some of them died under the punishment. Still, the mounds were not high enough, yet the new mounds were higher than the people that had been killed to get there, and those dead were of the Earth, so it was closer to the Moon.
That went on long enough to spread mound-building all over the world.
Eventually someone invented the sandstone block. Yeah, Baby. Go Daddy. It's almost passe to say "Here we are" on reaching the pyramids from evolution.
But more happened. Carrying sandstone blocks, of more or less uniform size and simple form, began to register with the consumption of energy. It always took the same amount of energy to lift a sandstone block a certain distance if it was of a certain size, and the energy and size were smoothly proportional. Of course we know now that was the volume and density. It was close enough to sensible, that energy was what was being used in the construction of systems to reach the Moon. And so here we are.
Now, in retrospect of the first, Apollo flights to the Moon, we can see that energy and conservation of momentum were the critical dimensions in flights into space. At the present time, the engines are rudimentary in that huge coarse quantities of flaming exploding energy are composed roughly into a subset of the dimensions of energy. That subset is momentum.
In the rocket, the momentum sub-dimension of energy is used to propel the rocket just like the octopuses and squids moved themselves around in the oceans where they were swimming around the brain corals. Presumably, we still base our ideas of energy on how much energy it takes to lift a sandstone block.
Now, how smart is a brain coral? Are physicists smarter than brain corals? Of course. When is that? Probably soon, in evolutionary time. By now we can see milennia stretching into the future like pyramids vanishing, and the question of time travel, or at LEAST the transfer of information from the future to the past, or from the future to now, or from now to the past, is almost looming at us.
In order to reach the Moon, evolution had to be narrowly dedicated to energy and flight for almost ten thousand years. Suddenly, within fifty years, it is all over and both animals and human beings all over the world are completely re-conceiving the World, Earth, the Planet, the Moon and Sun, and the Solar System and universe.
All the old bets are off. The snake withdrew - I saw it happen.
In other words, all the narrow constraints on what human beings should be were literally abandoned, relinquished to the earth, dropped. The result is certain to be a divergence in the human population, and it is best to let it go peacefully. That is why it will be wise to be generous in sanctioning households of all types, for human beings will increasingly live in single family households, apartments, groups, collectives and other patterns rapidly now. It will not be possible to constrain human habitation patterns to some one or another of the various ideals that were creating in special places and times, even the best. Justice and mercy,
dignity and health are more important. Gender will never be abandoned, but its origins are very deep and old. One of its dyadic, yin-and-yang dualities is light and space, energy and space. These are the penetrating and the receptive - which go back to sunlight coming through the ocean surface above into the waters below. To prove this yourself, YOU'll have to go SWIMMING.

Constellation's Provenance
It seems the world is in need of gentle reminders and sustained assurance that the upcoming 2020 Constellation flights to the Moon are of true importance. They are of the same importance as the Apollo flights - inestimable, transcendent and deeply historical magnitude that goes far beyond the current saeculum. Yet they are very different from the Apollo flights, which were in the aftermath and shadow of monstrous wars that had destroyed much of civilization and left the world with untold tragedy and loss to remember and weather. Now, it is almost as if the world wonders what to do while NASA goes to the Moon again.
NASA and the media have a world arena and global latitude in which the public is hungry for understanding about the magnitude and importance of the Constellation flights. The project already does or soon will involve cooperation from almost every nation on Earth. Most importantly, human beings are free to believe in the long term peace and stability of the world, and outline some of the essentials that impact on today's solutions for the economic situation.
Apparently, all three of Galactic, Ecliptic and Equatorial rotation are required to be right in the long run. That means by gambling alone, you only have a one in eight chance of getting it right. The three ephemeral celestial rotational are so important planes could very well have their own Muses. You can get human rights or construction right Right in daily rotation, and by the end of the year, the people are fighting and the house falls down. You can get a transportation system right in annual and quadrennial right, and in decades or centuries trains collide head-on because the Milky Way is turning. Assuming responsible people take all three Rights into account, though, it is a good time for optimism.
A continuity exists in world history that transcends differences between religion and government throughout the world in these projects. It is visible in faint, long-wavelength terms of the spectrum of human resonance, where similar terms are shared with animal life of all kinds. Some of these exist in millimeter waves, like those of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen and go as far out as the 16 centimeter Oxygen and 21 centimeter neutral hydrogen lines.
Ever since bilateral symmetry and gonads half a billion years ago, life on Earth was washing, splashing and surging back and forth toward the Moon in the tides. It is not commonly popular that space flight involves fundamental principles like the momentum exchange and intelligence invented by octopuses and squids; cooperation like that of schools, flock and herds animals; and walking upright with hands that even monkeys used millions of years ago. Nor is it popular that the French cave paintings depicting the Pleiades and other star-chart petroglyphs recently found in Africa were among the standards for these projects.
Beginning with builders of Earth mounds, the project was relatively swift. The main difficulty since then was the persistent tendency toward the zero sum predatory competition that caused so much war until recently. The 1970's Apollo expeditions were well named in the context of intelligent, literate history and the upcoming Orion project is the vital validation of the Apollo expeditions. Alone, the Apollo flights would disappear in myth.
Most people, the bright, educated who see to their houses and futures, are happy as clams at high tide with the project taking place now in the recent results of the Ares rocket, and other progress. Yet you would not know the fantasy some of the public lives in. Chronic sufferers of want or envy, they depend on rumours for what to think. Not only are bad times hard on the optimism of the poor- they also view even tranquil, stable economic activity as hopelessly stagnant, and for them, depressed and intractable.
In the public domain are almost nonstop grumblings that the second moon flights must be to prove the Apollo results were lies, that the Moon is actually hollow and contains gardens, plants, places to live and other people. There are also rumours, mumblings, murmers and discontent about "wasting money going back to the Moon". Public logic is non-contiguous, ephemeral and intermittent. It is infested with a soggy World War II Dufus and Sad Sack mentality, even though the new expeditions are largely taking place without war in the aftermath of the discovery that war is not an essential factor in space flight. It's peace but it's not a dream.
Just what kind of reassurances and reminders the world needs would be better determined by experts in public relations and government would certainly want to coordinate the concept presented with economic and financial administration so as to make the best of the Whole. At the same time, many who are confident of the future see the economic picture not as bleak, but as tending toward very long term stability in which the outcomes are not yet determined. Certainly, solutions will be sought for the contradictions between mass production and mass unemployment, between the ideals of freeing human beings from irksome toil and labor and the individual need for something to do, between the financial possibility of stabilized economic systems with abundant credit available to all, and other big-factor, long-term cross-currents.

Pareto optimum spectral cosmology
It looks like the envelope of spectral terms in this Pacific Northwest state (probably in all the United States) is approaching the envelope of spectral terms in remote wilderness areas anywhere in the world.
That would be, I'd guess, a primitive monarchy.
If it is so sophisticated as a monarchy. That is because there is no monarchy in the structure of United States government. Not that it is desired, since the States and the United States are all constitutional republics except for Louisiana.
If no specific entity such as the state Government takes charge of the spectrum of the State/Region/Nation then it will continue to settle into the wild natural spectrum of the Earth and its albedo.
One of the aspects now of the visible world at night is that foliage areas in the dark look like exactly that - dense darkness containing wild plants and the animals which live among them. They do not appear to have, for instance, any guiding light of whatever kind of civilization one might dream of. There is no sense of overarching human supremacy, no light of religion, no spiritual envelope of life. Either those never existed, or they are illegal, forbidden, outlawed.
Now I admit that is the nature of light as I saw it and interpreted as having a particular equation, but I did not create the light of nature and it never was in my power to cause the light to evolved any way that it would not have evolved, with or without my discovery or knowledge or both.
Logistically speaking, the economy of the United States is devolving, pretty much along the lines of a constitutional monarchy with Pareto Optimum cosmology in the economics.
If you remember your history, the only saving grace is that the retirement of five thousand years of misconstruction in the nearly obsessive instinct to reach the Moon, might take with it most of the misunderstandings, rationalisms, and causa bella of war that haunt the thermonuclear weapons stockpiles.
It is urgent to create win-win relationships with every other nation on Earth, if that is possible, and to let it be known that is a goal. Also, to invest some money in making sure competent professions are coordinated to provide a best estimate of what rapid return to the nature from which human beings diverged to evolve toward the moon, now that the Moon actually has human footprints on it. The 2020 confirmations will go far to reassure the populations of the less developed countries that the United States was telling the truth, and not lying or in deceit, when it reported from the 1969-74 Apollo visits that the Moon has no air, no water, no arable farmland, no plants or animals or life of any kind, and no enemies or demons either.
Otherwise, the recession will be that of an economy slowly collapsing toward that natural state which was left behind when mound and pyramid began to work in positive law architecture to reach the Moon by groping and war.

IN THE MIDDLE OF TEN THOUSAND YEARS
During only about twenty generations, so many new developments have occurred that the entire temporal order of the Earth was restructured. Increasingly clear distinctions are now made between the past and the future, in terms of increasingly longer spans of time. The history of civilization is much better resolved and a consistent version of that history is being provided by historians all over the world. Not only is it better coordinated between different civilizations and nations, but it extends back farther in time.
Recent archaeological discoveries in Peru and other parts of South America up to five thousand years ago now appear to be consistent with events in Old World for a similar time. This consistency makes it possible to have an equivalent meaningful time sense for human destiny. Whereas once it was necessary either to limit predictions to about one century, or else cast predictions in unimaginable futures such as millions of years, having a consistent 5,000 year history provides a more sensible basis for consciousness that the future, too, is to surely extend into a 5,000 year destiny.
Of course that number is not rigidly set by anything. It has to do with the discovery of many archaeological remnants everywhere in the world, that when radioisotope dated, range to about five thousand years ago. The time that passed from the beginning of human civilization to the attainment of footsteps on the Moon was just a hand of millennia. It is neither unnoticed, nor noticed by all things. One wonders if there is a six and seven attached, those numbers being fundamental atomic numbers in the element carbon, vital to life, and nitrogen, main constituent of the atmosphere and the medium of matters of the spirit.
To have five thousand sensible years in the recent past, and another five thousand years in the future, places the world in the middle of ten thousand years. It makes the idea of planning the world's destiny in terms of the future five thousand years more than merely inviting, convenient, or interesting. The critical issues - nuclear weapons, severity of the human population, destruction of earth's living species, and pollution of the small ecological system of this only planet we have to live on, utterly vital, and five thousand years is neither too long to be impossible to plan for, nor too brief to be a challenging and valuable period of concern.
It is no longer necessary to struggle with ideas like "The God of Millions of Years". To be sure, there probably is a god of such vast reaches of time, because if spirit emerged with life, and life adapts to advantage, then life has evolved god for at least half a billion years. Satellites like LAGEOS, ETALON, STARLETTE and AJISAI are certain to span a hundred thousand years to eternity. Five thousand years is only urban planning for some cities already.
Mankind set out to construct the path to the Moon five thousand years ago, after it was probably devolved on the human species for one or two millennia. Mankind did not know much about the heavens nor the spirits, but knew it had no choice, knew only that it obeyed. Human beings, simply close to stock in understanding, simply began trying to reach the Moon by constructing mountains.
Of course the results were both magnificent for their times, and yet tragic in ways that remain to this day. Especially after the first peaceful, trading civilizations changed into more formally strict civilizations that, though still trading, also imposed more stringent requirements on their peoples - often with force. It happened all over the world - in Egypt, in the Middle East, India, South America, and people toiled and struggled and were broken. Worse, they did not know who compelled them except that those who led them told them, and were probably telling the truth or what they believed was the truth, that the Gods made them do it.
Worse yet were decisions that groups, classes or religions of people who were not contributing to whatever the Gods at the time seemed to want, rapidly enough, were expendable and should be eliminated. That was probably when human beings began to reproduce rapidly, probably by offsetting annual mating cycles and requiring that love was to be a pleasant and enjoyable happy time after work any time of year so that children could be born. The only goal was to reach the Moon and often that goal was obscured by temporal and sometimes brutal causes.
Animal nature is not very bright, and underlies much of that which passes for intelligence in the human species. Believe me, I know.
Now, now a decade into this twenty first century, no excuses remain. There is no need to relegate human beings to brutal toil in order to reach the Moon. There is no need for subhuman or degrading conditions of existence. There is an awful need for prolonged and sustained peace, a peace to which human beings can become accustomed, and a peace during which they can rest and grow confident after five thousand years of war and bloody plunder.
Here is a problem:
If human beings do not prove to the Gods that comprise the half billion and more years of instincts of the Planet,
Who invested the planet's monkeys and men into a ferocious struggle to reach the Moon these past five thousand years,
That the Moon is already attained and that Project Apollo actually took place and the Orion Project is already attained
(Of course it did, we know that for certain in literate rationality, but the instincts of the planet do not know that for certain.)
then,
With the huge payload of nuclear and thermonuclear, bacteriological and chemical warheads waiting and ready in the arsenals,
Some Brutus is likely to end up obeying his interpretation of the Gods, and
The Gods are likely to find the brutes who will obey them, and
Together they will launch another destruction of the world so that
The Gods can make the planet's Monkeys try it again.
That Brutus would make Dr. Strangelove look like a civilized man, even a tree hugger.
To be sure, optimism is optimal, and it is worth appreciating that every state in the world seems to share concern for eliminating all weapons of mass destruction. The recent coming into phase and coherence of world history has made the attainment of space flight so much a signal that the time has come for peace for the entire world, and relief from the ignorant striving for the Moon, that the peace making activity can itself take on a more determined, confident, and stronger role.
Complete nuclear disarmament has not only mercy and justice to recommend it. Right, truth, and the concerted opinions of thousands of workers in every field of work and in every country on the planet are also on the side of disarmament. Only a few profit-seeking groups exploiting and exploited by the imperfections of capitalism which has made money into a false god, remain. They do not have the bulk of good sense, nor even the money, on their side.
No longer shall we wage war amongst ourselves for the unresolved but commanding Heavens, Spirits, Gods and instincts of billions of years for nothing more than flying to the Moon.
Let's all settle down and get several nations onto the Moon in the next few
decades and put an end to war.
Recent archaeological discoveries in Peru and other parts of South America up to five thousand years ago now appear to be consistent with events in Old World for a similar time. This consistency makes it possible to have an equivalent meaningful time sense for human destiny. Whereas once it was necessary either to limit predictions to about one century, or else cast predictions in unimaginable futures such as millions of years, having a consistent 5,000 year history provides a more sensible basis for consciousness that the future, too, is to surely extend into a 5,000 year destiny.
Of course that number is not rigidly set by anything. It has to do with the discovery of many archaeological remnants everywhere in the world, that when radioisotope dated, range to about five thousand years ago. The time that passed from the beginning of human civilization to the attainment of footsteps on the Moon was just a hand of millennia. It is neither unnoticed, nor noticed by all things. One wonders if there is a six and seven attached, those numbers being fundamental atomic numbers in the element carbon, vital to life, and nitrogen, main constituent of the atmosphere and the medium of matters of the spirit.
To have five thousand sensible years in the recent past, and another five thousand years in the future, places the world in the middle of ten thousand years. It makes the idea of planning the world's destiny in terms of the future five thousand years more than merely inviting, convenient, or interesting. The critical issues - nuclear weapons, severity of the human population, destruction of earth's living species, and pollution of the small ecological system of this only planet we have to live on, utterly vital, and five thousand years is neither too long to be impossible to plan for, nor too brief to be a challenging and valuable period of concern.
It is no longer necessary to struggle with ideas like "The God of Millions of Years". To be sure, there probably is a god of such vast reaches of time, because if spirit emerged with life, and life adapts to advantage, then life has evolved god for at least half a billion years. Satellites like LAGEOS, ETALON, STARLETTE and AJISAI are certain to span a hundred thousand years to eternity. Five thousand years is only urban planning for some cities already.
Mankind set out to construct the path to the Moon five thousand years ago, after it was probably devolved on the human species for one or two millennia. Mankind did not know much about the heavens nor the spirits, but knew it had no choice, knew only that it obeyed. Human beings, simply close to stock in understanding, simply began trying to reach the Moon by constructing mountains.
Of course the results were both magnificent for their times, and yet tragic in ways that remain to this day. Especially after the first peaceful, trading civilizations changed into more formally strict civilizations that, though still trading, also imposed more stringent requirements on their peoples - often with force. It happened all over the world - in Egypt, in the Middle East, India, South America, and people toiled and struggled and were broken. Worse, they did not know who compelled them except that those who led them told them, and were probably telling the truth or what they believed was the truth, that the Gods made them do it.
Worse yet were decisions that groups, classes or religions of people who were not contributing to whatever the Gods at the time seemed to want, rapidly enough, were expendable and should be eliminated. That was probably when human beings began to reproduce rapidly, probably by offsetting annual mating cycles and requiring that love was to be a pleasant and enjoyable happy time after work any time of year so that children could be born. The only goal was to reach the Moon and often that goal was obscured by temporal and sometimes brutal causes.
Animal nature is not very bright, and underlies much of that which passes for intelligence in the human species. Believe me, I know.
Now, now a decade into this twenty first century, no excuses remain. There is no need to relegate human beings to brutal toil in order to reach the Moon. There is no need for subhuman or degrading conditions of existence. There is an awful need for prolonged and sustained peace, a peace to which human beings can become accustomed, and a peace during which they can rest and grow confident after five thousand years of war and bloody plunder.
Here is a problem:
If human beings do not prove to the Gods that comprise the half billion and more years of instincts of the Planet,
Who invested the planet's monkeys and men into a ferocious struggle to reach the Moon these past five thousand years,
That the Moon is already attained and that Project Apollo actually took place and the Orion Project is already attained
(Of course it did, we know that for certain in literate rationality, but the instincts of the planet do not know that for certain.)
then,
With the huge payload of nuclear and thermonuclear, bacteriological and chemical warheads waiting and ready in the arsenals,
Some Brutus is likely to end up obeying his interpretation of the Gods, and
The Gods are likely to find the brutes who will obey them, and
Together they will launch another destruction of the world so that
The Gods can make the planet's Monkeys try it again.
That Brutus would make Dr. Strangelove look like a civilized man, even a tree hugger.
To be sure, optimism is optimal, and it is worth appreciating that every state in the world seems to share concern for eliminating all weapons of mass destruction. The recent coming into phase and coherence of world history has made the attainment of space flight so much a signal that the time has come for peace for the entire world, and relief from the ignorant striving for the Moon, that the peace making activity can itself take on a more determined, confident, and stronger role.
Complete nuclear disarmament has not only mercy and justice to recommend it. Right, truth, and the concerted opinions of thousands of workers in every field of work and in every country on the planet are also on the side of disarmament. Only a few profit-seeking groups exploiting and exploited by the imperfections of capitalism which has made money into a false god, remain. They do not have the bulk of good sense, nor even the money, on their side.
No longer shall we wage war amongst ourselves for the unresolved but commanding Heavens, Spirits, Gods and instincts of billions of years for nothing more than flying to the Moon.
Let's all settle down and get several nations onto the Moon in the next few
decades and put an end to war.

What Now in the Sudden Aftermath of Five Thousand Years?
A great deal of controversy surrounds the question of investing human and industrial capital in colonizing the Moon. The Moon is bleak, airless and waterless and the cost of development is extremely great. Also, it will continue to orbit the Earth for millions or billions of years, so no hurry exists. What human beings do or do not do about the Moon now is important.
It is early in the game, and the investment in Earth itself is exremely important especially in the light of the considerable and substantial problems of poverty, severe population overload, destruction of the natural environment, rapacious consumption of wildlife as food, and the existence of some factor of misconstruction in present economic directions.
It may help to look at this problem as one of the instability and chaos attendant singular events, in this case, the attainment of the Apollo project after five or more thousand years of dedicated construction and war toward that end.
Mathematically, what comes next takes place in a field of envelopes on the time axis. These envelopes have in common that to some extent they consist of
1. A Gaussian distribution around the event of attaining flight to the Moon and determination of what it is;
2. An exponential decay of obsolete developments which either existed before human constructions or were misconstructions from the start;
3. Logarithmic ascents and descents to a norm, of new, useful developments.
4. A curve which resembles the Plank black body energy-wavelength curve. Several markedly temporal events are distinct in history. This curve appears in economics.
5. The first pyramid constructions and the Taoist statistics which emerged about five thousand years ago. These appear to both be divergent branches away from the indigenous Earth.
6. Three thousand years Greeks discovered the ideal and description of the state as Republic. With it came the immediate realization that determination of the nature of light and the action, energy and power constituted a set of paramount goals. It was not until the 1500’s that extensive progress began in these two vital questions.
7. Two thousand years ago many things appeared with the Roman empire, among them estimates of the distance to the Moon; the resurrection of the Republic; the appearance and resurrection of Christ as a humanized integration of the spirit and species of man; first uses of artificial electricity; extensive bridge, aqueducts and roads; and military conquest and settlement of vast amounts of otherwise uncoordinated human civilizations. All this continued for 1500 years.
8. In the Sixteenth Century, the development of the printing press, optics, and several other technological inventions including the steam engine, which heralded vast supplies of energy to free human and other sentient beings from burden of irksome toil. Discovery of the New World - a euphemism that comprehends both the Western Hemisphere (which actually was already inhabited by human beings, so quite discovered) and the Moon as a small airless object orbiting the Earth, and the other planets revealed with telescopes.
9. During the 17th and 18th centuries, mathematics and physics, especially mechanics, emerged strongly along with the Independence of a Constitutional Republic in the United States.
10. In the early 1900's, discovery of the quantum of action and a resulting flood of new understanding of the atom; discovery of the exterior galaxies. The twentieth century also saw the emergence of global war in pursuit of the attainment of the Moon began.
11. Global war, involving massive numbers of deaths, commits the world to the immediate goal of attainment of flight to the Moon; nuclear energy emerges with nuclear reactors and atomic weapons.
12. Actual attainment of the Moon, with the decisive discoveries that it contains no inhabitants, no air, no water, no arable land, no good farmland, no enemies and no friends and that would be the condition for billions of years, apart from what human beings to or make of it. This was accompanied by naive visions of what lay in extremely distant futures, which gave much weight to those who suggested development of the Moon was urgent.
In fact it turned out that about the only thing to do on the Moon is look at Earth, something which can be accomplished by robot cameras at far less expense, and thus sparing resources for the far more productive activity of near Earth orbit. For each of the intervals suggested by the events of the past, there is an interval in the future, of accommodation of those events or of events which transpired since that time of their inception.
Among other things, at the time of the Apollo flights to the Moon, which were the first in all Earth's history, the world was sharply divided into the developed industrial market countries which were largely in Europe and North America. Other great nations were emerging though still imperiled by war and transfiguring revolution. The rest of the world, approximately half its population, lived in primitive conditions of existence and had few technological resources though communications was beginning.
The promise brought by communications itself caused such hurried panic to enforce what it seemed to imply that it resembled an opening day sale at a big department store, with people being trampled to death in the crowds lunging for the new wares. That was trumpeted as "the communist revolution"; meanwhile, others announced that human beings would be turned into robots, docile obedient slaves. Neither was true of course. The social revolutions were largely hasty ill planned moves attempting to match the patient resolution that existed in the Roman construction, Constitution and Republican traditions. It is only to be understood in the future whether the massive wars of the 1900's were necessary or not.
After all, it is possible that if the determination had not been to reach the Moon BEFORE the end of the second millennium, the emerging new millennium could well have invited global apathy and a resolution only to reach the Moon within another thousand years. Or, to leave the attainment itself until AFTER the new millennium, that is, after Y2K, would place the beginning in a shadow, with war having occurred anyway. With the race to reach the Moon prior to Y2K - actually taking place thirty years earlier - the more substantial second series of flights to the Moon can be better understood from the beginning, comprehended by more people who, with better communications, live in better conditions of existence and will likely benefit more directly from the event. Possibly more important, human beings worldwide are likely to perceive that they benefit from the second series of Moon flights.
Instead, technological industries presented the entire population of the Earth with telephones, radio, television, computers and the internet. Most people became, politically, much more moderate-so much so they seemed to be, to visionaries, under some kind of enslaving control. In fact, with communications, entire populations were skimpy turning to the work at hand, to improve the disposition of the world which had been so torn by war, exploitation, mining, rapacious slaughter of sentient beings as food chemicals; and other difficulties.
Eventually long-term human existence on the Moon, Mars and possibly a few other places in the Solar System seem likely. They do not seem to be inevitably permanent at this time, if by permanent is meant millions of years. Within the century, long-term might mean months or years. By the end of the new millennium, long-term could mean lifetimes - centuries and more. It depends on Earth's consensus, whether the planet in its evolutionary context and without the imagined threat of aliens from space, decides it is important or not.
The point about those who proclaim urgency to establish long-term settlement of the Moon and Mars as soon as possible is that the decisions involved do not involve those who live today. They involve those who are to be living when the ideas are considered in the future. IT is timely now, to be preparing the second series of Moon flights. In the initial phases it was believed that 2020 was a good estimate. Yet in the light of understanding and knowledge brought by the Apollo series, there is no mandatory schedule, and the actual date may be earlier, or later, with little difficulty.
For one thing, other nations such as China and the European Union, possibly Russia, India, possibly a South American economic union, are all interested in the ca 2020 Moon flights. The result may be that some collaborate with the United States or with each other, which could mean the Moon would have new footsteps on it sooner. Or other important world activities, such as conservation, may become so important in the judgment of new people, that the project is given lower priority. Perhaps the 'second series' of moon flights will span several decades, and consist of several flights by several different nations representing several different main streams development in human civilization.
In the 1980's, NASA measured the rate at which the Solar System and Earth in it move around the Milky Way Galaxy. Within the great firmament of exterior galaxies exist the three rotating celestial planes - Galactic, Ecliptic, and Equatorial - which define right in an unambigous and clear way.
For an individual person, the requirement is to be right in all three - only one of 2^3, or eight, possibilities exist which is correct and true in all three. That is quite feasible for any responsible planner.
This is an excellent time for deep and true resolution of the situation in which the Earth finds itself. Young people can depend on the remarkably consistent new understanding of history brought by photography and its successor technologies.

The Magnetism and Electricity of Evolution toward the Moon
The Magnetism and Electricity of Evolution toward the Moon.
The speed of light and the action quantum are far more fundamental and necessary to the peace and stability of the world than are the existing magnitudes of the Henry and the Farad. Both the Henry and the Farad were arbitrarily assigned quantities. They have a relation to the speed of light through an equation in which they appear as a product, but any value could have been assigned to the Henry, as long as the Farad were changed proportionally. Conversely, any value could have been assigned to the Farad, as long as the Henry were changed accordingly.
The conventional but overly specific equation for the speed of light is
v = 1/SQRT(mu*epsilon)
The numerical value of mu was derived from existing knowledge on the basis of the arbitrary magnetic field constant, the Henry. It was found that the electric field constant derived from the Faraday had the relationship shown to the speed of light. As a result, the electric field constant was given a value which would make not only that equation correct, but would justify the value of the Faraday in relation to the Henry. That was obscure enough to establish a claim that the Henry and Faraday are absolutely fundamental. They are not. Any other set of experiments could have been used to construct a measure of magnetic field strength similar in dimension to the dimensions of the Henry, and if it resulted in a different numerical value, an appropriate value could have been assigned to the electric field constant so that the equation would predict the speed of light correctly.
The motion of light is in a space-time topology in which two dimensions are present along with a velocity dimension. This is sometimes called SU(2) X U(1). Dimensions which are equivalently fundamental include those of distance and time. The units humans choose are not the units on which the universe is based, however. The universe is based, in dimensions of length, on certain sizes of things which are mostly atoms and particular wavelengths. It is also based on such things as the magnitudes of electric charges, the masses of atoms, and magnetic constants such as the Bohr magneton.
These are sometimes called fundamental or atomic constants of nature. Arranging atomic constants as fundamentals accessible to all nations is vital. This is the kind of change in our thinking for which Albert Einstein called. The most obvious way of doing this is through the manufacture of popular goods, commonly called consumer goods, which manifestly display atomic constants and are available worldwide. To a great extent this is taking place already, in the manufacture and distribution of such goods as cameras, computers, radios, televisions and telephones.
What must not be forgotten, and the instinctive nature of the human species becomes familiar with these widely available goods, is that they are not merely salable objects manufactured for capitalist profits. Profit is a measure of the success of the selling, and to be sure it is sometimes, even often, abused. But of particular goods being sold, many are essentials for human existence, and many are manifest representations of principles new in the evolution of life on Earth. They must be taken as solutions for peace, and not mistaken as causa bella. To do this brings one more obligation, that of ensuring their assimilation is gauged, its relation to international peace is understood, and appropriate responses to changes in the market include products which are, literally, in the correct place for the next step in negotiating the difficult back-scaling from the conflicted times in the final stages of Earth's five thousand year history of constructed struggle to the Moon.
The Chinese people are currently dominant in the dielectric constant. Perhaps given or ceded to them after the magnetic storms of war that swept Europe in the last century, it is also because they were anciently familiar with the duality of the Yin and Yang, more deeply than Judaeo-Christian culture. Though they did not early on resolve the electric field constants, which do exist, it was easy for them to do so when the industrial revolution began and electricity and magnetism were resolved in common sense. Generally it appears masculine is equated with the dielectric and feminine is equated with the magnetic.
This is strong enough to be noticeable when working with delicate sticky issues such as transparent tape, paper, and clean surfaces. That is probably the origin of the phrase "red tape". To a person familiar with red tape, it is easy, but most of the business world is not and so such issues seriously impede business and other negotiations.
This would be nothing more than a static issue except that the historical resolution of the electric and magnetic field constants was set in 17th and 18th century English and European traditions in which the first thing that took place was the creation of arbitrary standard units for magnetic and electric fields. Principles such as those in physics were at that time named after persons who could be equated with monarchs, princes or theological figures. As a result, a magnetic field constant was named the Henry, and an electric field constant was named the Farad, after Michael Faraday. The Henry of course was equated with several Kings Henry, notoriously Henry VIII who set a large number of things that could not be distinguished from eternal in motion. Faraday's name Michael was at least equitable with the Archangel Michael. I know of that well as my name is Michael. We are not tough politicians and tend to be equated with mica, glass, paper, plastic film and such things.
The real problem is that the implementation of these constants into the real industrial world and urban infrastructures was immediate even though they were chosen with arbitrary magnitudes long before the magnitudes of the speed of light and the action quantum were discovered. Those two latter constants are reshaping physics every day in a process of change that could span 500 or a thousand years if the arbitrary disposition is not nipped in the bud. The reason of course is that the constants were named in England and France and were quickly used as bedrock and pillars of colonialist foreign policy. They were also used to divide East and West along the European midnight, which was constructed as the Prime Meridian. Subsequently, Europe and Russia to the East was put literally in irons and to the West, eventually the Americas, the United States in particular, was put to acting as a kind of Great Meridian engaging in wars on both western and eastern fronts itself.
Examination of empirical results in manufactures in the common domain reveal that the arbitrary magnitudes of the Henry and Farad resulted in the manufacture of very large magnetic devices and very small dielectric or capacitive devices. For a long time motors, transformers and generators were very large, and set on power line poles like the magnetism in the body of Christ. Capacitive devices were almost unknown until the manufacture of synthetic fabrics and plastic films, and then improved rapidly into sophisticated devices such as transistors and digital memory chips. Their future is vast. Capacitor transformers have appeared as large capacitors became possible, and magnetic devices have become smaller. All this change is since the discovery of the two constants c and h, the speed of light and the action quantum. Those two constants are truly vintage research, as the study of the motion of light and the nature of action began thousands of years ago. It was fortuitous, and in part tragic, that the path to the Moon stumbled at the imposition of arbitrary magnitudes for magnetic and electric fields in the Henry and Faraday.
Research reviewing the development of physics during the last four centuries, premised on the speed of light and the action quantum as most fundamental principles, will reveal vast quantities of desirable and feasible change that will provide far more agreeable global terms in which the nations of the world can get along.
The speed of light and the action quantum are far more fundamental and necessary to the peace and stability of the world than are the existing magnitudes of the Henry and the Farad. Both the Henry and the Farad were arbitrarily assigned quantities. They have a relation to the speed of light through an equation in which they appear as a product, but any value could have been assigned to the Henry, as long as the Farad were changed proportionally. Conversely, any value could have been assigned to the Farad, as long as the Henry were changed accordingly.
The conventional but overly specific equation for the speed of light is
v = 1/SQRT(mu*epsilon)
The numerical value of mu was derived from existing knowledge on the basis of the arbitrary magnetic field constant, the Henry. It was found that the electric field constant derived from the Faraday had the relationship shown to the speed of light. As a result, the electric field constant was given a value which would make not only that equation correct, but would justify the value of the Faraday in relation to the Henry. That was obscure enough to establish a claim that the Henry and Faraday are absolutely fundamental. They are not. Any other set of experiments could have been used to construct a measure of magnetic field strength similar in dimension to the dimensions of the Henry, and if it resulted in a different numerical value, an appropriate value could have been assigned to the electric field constant so that the equation would predict the speed of light correctly.

Faraday's name Michael was at least equitable with the Archangel Michael. I know of that well as my name is Michael. We are not tough politicians and tend to be equated with mica, glass, paper, plastic film and such things.
The real problem is that the implementation of these constants into the real industrial world and urban infrastructures was immediate even though they were chosen with arbitrary magnitudes long before the magnitudes of the speed of light and the action quantum were discovered. Those two latter constants are reshaping physics every day in a process of change that could span 500 or a thousand years if the arbitrary disposition is not nipped in the bud. The reason of course is that the constants were named in England and France and were quickly used as bedrock and pillars of colonialist foreign policy. They were also used to divide East and West along the European midnight, which was constructed as the Prime Meridian. Subsequently, Europe and Russia to the East was put literally in irons and to the West, eventually the Americas, the United States in particular, was put to acting as a kind of Great Meridian engaging in wars on both western and eastern fronts itself.
Examination of empirical results in manufactures in the common domain reveal that the arbitrary magnitudes of the Henry and Farad resulted in the manufacture of very large magnetic devices and very small dielectric or capacitive devices. For a long time motors, transformers and generators were very large, and set on power line poles like the magnetism in the body of Christ. Capacitive devices were almost unknown until the manufacture of synthetic fabrics and plastic films, and then improved rapidly into sophisticated devices such as transistors and digital memory chips. Their future is vast. Capacitor transformers have appeared as large capacitors became possible, and magnetic devices have become smaller. All this change is since the discovery of the two constants c and h, the speed of light and the action quantum. Those two constants are truly vintage research, as the study of the motion of light and the nature of action began thousands of years ago. It was fortuitous, and in part tragic, that the path to the Moon stumbled at the imposition of arbitrary magnitudes for magnetic and electric fields in the Henry and Faraday.
Research reviewing the development of physics during the last four centuries, premised on the speed of light and the action quantum as most fundamental principles, will reveal vast quantities of desirable and feasible change that will provide far more agreeable global terms in which the nations of the world can get along.
