Not sure if everyone cought this one 'A new space policy for Europe' at the European Parliament Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council, emphasised the political and strategic dimension of space for Europe: “We must promote Europe as a space power. To achieve this, we must build on the experience of ESA,” explained Mr Van Rompuy. “ESA should be reinforced in order to obtain full responsibility for the implementation of the Space missions that Europe’s status of world power requires.”
It is clear to me, that the powers that be[PTB] are making their moves to commericialize space and so much else. I think the PTB, are purposely engineering society to waste so much energy and resources for a reason. It is pure madness. The PTB want to exhaust resources on this planet as fast as possible to establish their space commercialization and maintain their monopoly. Could it be that simple?
