A conversation was held yesterday morning effectively putting things on hold across ASTC at least for now. Presently it was agreed that planetary development is being held as an open in box on the shelf at ASTC. The reasons for this became clear after a series of questions which clarified the fact that a vast amount of public awareness and appeal was needed to increase understanding of just what planetary development is and what it stands for. We have a long way to go people, now it gets more interesting. "I Am Undaunted it will get done". Ho!
I have entered the same on the sites blog and posted my response to ASTC in the archives which also points to some of my own character defects, I get a little over zealous with this stuff what can I say.

When in doubt back to grandmothers house. The simple analogy about cleaning the room still stands. In the blog I lay it out, but simply with the creation of planetary development there will be a vast fielding out process until the right path arrives to credibly erect the system and cast it across our civilization with full accountability. Credibility and accountability is the key to it's creation and ultimate success, with out it is nothing and will accomplish nothing. It will be responsible to the whole of the peoples of our world.

The funding mechanism for the acquisition, collection, collation and cartographic outlays of our worlds resources is as yet not defined though I do know of the necessity of having that information in usable form for all of our worlds citizens is a must when considering the future of our civilization. I am aware that many commodities are tracked already through the stocks and the agro-industrial markets but what is going to be attempted here is to set up a very fluid and dynamic system where resources can be assessed including transportation and then overlaid upon areas of bounty or areas of greatest need. Beginning the first real capability on our world to effectively balance the resource load between areas of bounty and areas of need this is vital for the future of our world and the long term maintenance of our species. Historically like any great human endeavor the resources to continue with the work tend to follow the actions and with something this vital they cannot be too far behind and in full measure.

| Let us not forget that among our busy life's here on earth that behind it all we have though out our history had a very silent and patient partner awaiting in the background who to all accounts beckons us as a species to come and grow with. Here our moon has the land surface area of five times that of the Continent of Africa with a physical economic procurement capability starting in the hundreds of trillions of dollars in base metals and light refractory metals along with an endless supply of power from the sun to run any and all electrosmelting operations and we pay no attention to it at least here in the United States of America and what this means is that we the US are not putting the appropriate investment dollars and human capital into it. Oh, but China is paying attention to the thing so when they set up their first factory refinery system on the moon in twenty years or so guess who rules the day.

Here to the right in a historical NASA image the US Apollo 17 Astronaut Harrison Schmitt stands next to a lunar bolder on 12/13/1972 since that mission there has been no US or other human presence on the lunar surface to date. The US proved it could be done but like anything else if you don't show up for work long enough someone else is bound to get the job, welcome in China. This is not to say that China should or has no right to establish their own lunar presence which they have every right to do. What I am saying is after the US had established a foot hold on a new territory the US then abandoned that new vast field of opportunity for itself.

So what about that Moon of ours? |

To the left is a Power Point Presentation pointing directly to the kinds of operations we could be engaged in right now on the Lunar surface given our present technology alone along with a clear example of one type of transgenerational career base we as a civilization can enjoy.

From the perspective of Planetary Development here is the rather odd point being made by the above example about the moon. Anytime in history when we humans had stepped foot upon soil we managed somehow to claim a vested right upon that soil in terms of ownership or continued use thereof. One great example I can site is that of the South Pole Station. Here is a group of people from many different nations who willingly jump at the chance to winter over there in one of the most desolate places on earth. The same goes for the North Pole though there is no station but there are people that chase the magnetic pole of the earth over the ice all the time. A personal example I can site is when I was in the service back in the seventies I was on a ship that serviced logistics to nothing more than a rock sticking out of the water aptly called Race Rock Light Station. Here when we would pull up to the thing one would wonder if anyone would ever be willing to live there and yet out would come some bedraggle servicemen all happy as clams nestled as they were in their self made cozy labode.
So what am I saying here? What I am saying is that we us humans have our feet all over this world of ours in the most diverse places imaginable (Mount Everest comes to mind) taking risk with life and limb and willingly doing so again and again and yet when it comes to the moon there seems to be a break with this innate venturesome spirit of ours. Here is an analogy as to where we as humans are with the moon right now. We are at the point where after a heralding adventure Christopher Columbus is now back standing before the Queen with all the wonders of the new world to bestow before her and the tall tale of strange and exotic people and places to tell and the Queen with a seeming dispassionate view then says to Christopher Columbus, thanks for the information but I don't think we need to go back and deal with that again. Can you imagine where our worlds development would be right now if the Western Hemisphere were never developed, in all likelihood we would still be running around with wooden ships and riding horse back and depending what your thinking is on this it could be a good thing or a bad thing, I say we do need to slow it down a bit on our world, catch our breath as it were. If we are to use the Western Hemisphere as a template than we know that if we were to engage in the full colonization and industrialization of the moon than the benefits that would result would be on a scale unknown to us presently just like those living back hundreds of years ago could not have envisioned our world after the development of the Western Hemisphere.
When it comes to the moon I keep wondering where our zeal for exploration and wondersome adventure has gone and as of yet we have not the realization of the benefits that such an action would have to the whole of our civilization.

Below is the Cooperated Linear Order of Non-aligned Descendancies or the CLOND with the center of its operations across its so called Imperium which is nothing more than the amalgam of all the people from all the human disciplines that herald out of the immutable principles (principles common to all people) noted at any one time across its Wing Structure and the Linear Axle (go to the CLOND design page). This is one example of a civilization tool designed by the coming Field of Human Endeavor Planetary Development.

The Cooperated Linear Order of Non-aligned Descendancies, the CLOND as seen here with its crest is but one type of civilization tool which can be used to meet the challenge of planetary development. In the years ahead, as planetary development begins to unfold, more information on the architecture and operational characteristics of the CLOND shall be revealed. But for now, it is enough to introduce to our civilization the face and name of our world's first structural basil harmonic system. A human operating system designed for our entire civilizations use. A civilization tool specifically designed to assist our world with planetary development, the maturation of our species and aimed ultimately toward the resolution of the human condition.
Here to the left is Figure-1, the crest of the CLOND and its imperium.

Long Term Thinking - Transgenerational Projects and their development
|
One of the major considerations that the Field of Planetary Development shall have to overcome is that of extremely large project developments such on the scale of Nations, the European Union or even the United Nations. This is the primary reason that the peoples of the world shall have to weigh in by some social mechanism rendering their charge and sanction to the Field of Planetary Development. But like the projects of old this shall require hard work, diligence and personal risk like the men out on the cable in the image below to the left. But because of this hard work and risk the whole of society benefits as social cohesion is brought into tighter focus as goal structures are realized like that with the completion of the Grand Coulee Dam project in the image below and to the right elevating the standard of living of those involved for decades now. Only with Planetary Development we are dealing with scales so vast that a new term is needed to describe them and that is transgenerational projects and their development. And, this is not to mention the social mechanisms that shall be needed or employed in the process of transforming our civilization into one integral species over time. It's called effective planning on a planetary or civilization wide scale and if we were to really exercise this type of thinking you wouldn't believe the kinds of changes you would see on our world.
