A REQUIRED COSMIC
APARTHEID There
is again no place for two intelligent species on a single planet. Modern man
could not have lived long with Cro-Magnon and others of his kind. A
rational analysis leads us immediately to the conclusion that our cosmic
descendants should have no real consciousness of our existence and of the
help we are giving them all along. Any knowledge of that kind would include
them in our world, thus exposing them to the same risks as ourselves. Would
not Europe be also concerned if America was threatened by
Extraterrestrials? Only
unconscious primates free in their own space could create a world of their
own. The "cosmic umbilical cord" of the new species should be cut. Any
other form of colonization than cosmic apartheid would be doomed to failure. Question - Terraforming
one or several planets for our cosmic descendants involve considerable launch
facilities. Would such a space exodus be possible at all? Reply
: Prior to settling the primates on a terraformed planet, a biosphere rich in
natural resources as well as in faun and flora would be required. This
implies indeed a large number of space launches extending on several hundreds
of years. The space launchers used so far have almost reached their limits
and new launch systems should have been developed as the time of exodus has
come. Studies
of new launch systems are being carried out and serious prospects already
exist (
space lifting systems,
nuclear propulsion, etc.). Progress could be rapidly expected if adequate
budgets are used to it. Planetary ecology,
scientific research and study of near and far space would of course be at the
heart of our Cosmic Project. Almost all world military budgets actually used
in pure loss and to our self-destruction would be consacrated to it. During
the long terraforming of one or several planets, our species would probably
live a long and complex evolution toward an artificial nature. The very
nature of the human being would have changed when the time of settling has
come. The
spaceships necessary to this cosmic transfer would of course be larger and
more massive than presently. But with expected progress in computer sciences
and medecine (insemination, clonage, etc.), our spaceships could be more
reduced than imagined. They could have reasonable dimensions. It is proposed to
terraform Mars or other solar planets in view of an hominization
of primates passing through successive evolution steps comparable to
mankind’s from
Prehistoric
Times to modern man. As we could undertake
such a project if we decide to do so, man’s consciousness may well be the
result of such
an
evolution led by a previous stellar civilization. |

Question : It seems
nevertheless difficult to let our cosmic children in their nurseries wihout
any contact with them. How could we do
it ? Reply
: Our cosmic descendants should not have any clear consciousness of our
existence. But this would not prevent a kind of masked attendance. With
such primitive beings as monkeys, we could resort to all sorts of
subterfuges, such as disguise, anaesthesia, etc. The human being should never
present himself in his true nature since it would be harmful to the evolution
of the primate. |
