The Unidiversity Research Explorer Cycle would not be possible without NASA, thanks to the technologies we learned from them, such as GNSS, Remote sensing, change detection, and GPS. In fact, we wouldn’t understand ourselves very well if we couldn’t see images of Earth or meteorological data. However, there is so much that I don’t know about NASA, but one thing is for sure. It inspired me because of the mission to planet Earth, remote sensing, mapping, GIS, and the fact that I had professors affiliated with NASA. In addition, I am immensely impressed by all the holistic technologies they have contributed to our world. I also think going into space is inspiring, as is learning about the universe, too. However, there’s a lot written about the concept of prioritization, and where does space travel fall on that priority spectrum? Given that I don’t have the full picture of NASA’s work, I would argue that we should prioritize the mission to Earth. Another concept I heard about was Earth as a classroom, or nature’s classroom, where NASA helped educate people through Universities on Earth, especially kids. Educating people, especially our future generations, adds immeasurable value to our world. Therefore, I’m sure that people at NASA are both heart and mind people. However, given the current events on planet Earth, and the fact that we have wars, preventable suffering, children suffering, environmental problems, nuclear weapons, and a planet that’s run by industrial Earth, Kings, castles, and kingdoms, we ought to put more weight on the mission to planet Earth. Based on what I’ve heard about the programs, I’m sure there is significant energy being put towards the mission to planet Earth and to Earth/nature’s classroom. The mission to planet Earth is now called the Earth Science Enterprise. Wouldn’t it be great to allocate energy to our people, our natural environment, our children, and other highly relevant, prioritized concepts on Earth? For example, we could use changes in what’s happening in our world today over time to help us understand what we should do in the future. Likewise, change detection should be used to understand the planet’s desired future condition and its current condition. However, I have noticed that the budgeted amount for the first decade of the mission to Earth, or the Earth science enterprise, was $8 billion, which is likely insufficient compared to what they need. As I said, I hypothesize that NASA is filled with hearts-and-minds people and likely has hearts as its context. So, I imagine they are also contributing, in some way, shape, or form, to our desired future conditions on Earth and to our understanding of our current conditions. However, I am not privy to the full extent of the energy they’re allocating to missions to Earth, Planet Earth’s Nature Classroom, and the Earth Science enterprise. So, if they have not already done so, I would recommend expanding the mission to Earth and the Earth science enterprise as soon as possible. In fact, change detection alone could solve many of our major problems. Therefore, their budget should be whatever they want it to be, given the overall potential to help solve our problems on Earth and beyond. I have wondered how much technology NASA contributed to the development of the cell phone. Likewise, I had an idea for a spatially enabled, integrated device that I would’ve consulted NASA on extensively before creating. The We-Me Cycle, with location enabled and a spatially integrated device, would not be possible without NASA, as it would likely rely on a satellite communication link. That’s my best guess anyway. Anyway, before suggesting that NASA change its prioritization scheme, I’d want to understand what they’re already doing to contribute to our desired future condition and current conditions on planet Earth, beyond what I already know. However, I agree with some papers that we might want to hold off on missions to Mars and the Moon unless NASA can accomplish both simultaneously. It would be interesting to understand the types of energy and financial allocations required to propose the We-Me Unidiversity Research Explorers Cycle, because it not only addresses broad scales, which NASA excels at, but also finer scales. It takes into consideration all the people on Earth and their connection to the broader Unidiversity. The cycle goes from each of us to all of us, everyone, everything, everywhere on earth. It allows all of us on Earth. everyone, everything, everywhere on earth, to contribute to problem-solving and holistic problem prevention on earth. Therefore, I wonder how much it would take to get everyone connected on Earth so they can contribute to initiatives such as global census assessments and studies. If we can collectively solve all the major problems on Earth with this technology, NASA’s budget should be infinite because the benefits would be infinite. I’m not a physics major, but what I mean to say by infinite is too much to calculate. Nobody does it better than each of us and all of us together. World without end….
