1
00:00:01,489 --> 00:00:03,980
SPACE

2
00:00:04,104 --> 00:00:07,944
The proposals of the Venus Project
range from cities in the sea

3
00:00:08,369 --> 00:00:10,000
to space stations.

4
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:14,449
These cybernated space stations
can provide the facilities

5
00:00:14,553 --> 00:00:16,984
of a gravity-free research environment.

6
00:00:18,043 --> 00:00:19,827
They can be entirely automated,

7
00:00:19,956 --> 00:00:22,923
and will be capable of
maintenance and self-repair.

8
00:00:23,895 --> 00:00:25,224
Along with satellites,

9
00:00:25,378 --> 00:00:28,067
they could serve as nodes
in a major worldwide

10
00:00:28,184 --> 00:00:30,707
telecommunications and control system.

11
00:00:31,390 --> 00:00:33,901
They would also provide
up-to-the-minute information

12
00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:37,575
on Earth's ecosystems,
the position of ships and aircraft,

13
00:00:37,833 --> 00:00:39,587
and all other pertinent information.

14
00:00:41,021 --> 00:00:44,209
They will also be able to
pilot and guide aircraft,

15
00:00:44,326 --> 00:00:47,950
ships, and other transportation
systems to their destinations.

16
00:00:48,073 --> 00:00:52,264
[Jacque Fresco] Outer space,
we can do a lot of new chemicals, new drugs,

17
00:00:52,492 --> 00:00:55,027
new metals, new furniture.

18
00:00:55,458 --> 00:00:57,698
We could design universal things.

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,516
We can't do that on Earth as yet.

20
00:01:00,812 --> 00:01:02,596
We might be able to someday,

21
00:01:03,015 --> 00:01:05,569
when we create artificial gravity;

22
00:01:05,876 --> 00:01:07,440
when we’re able do that,

23
00:01:07,673 --> 00:01:11,058
or create a condition
of non-gravitational field.

24
00:01:11,415 --> 00:01:13,760
They will differ from
today’s space stations

25
00:01:13,876 --> 00:01:17,938
in that all of the experiments in space
will be conducted by remote control

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,686
from a replica on Earth.

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400
This will eliminate the
life-threatening danger

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,781
of transporting humans into space.

29
00:01:31,563 --> 00:01:34,369
These satellites can also
with great precision,

30
00:01:34,732 --> 00:01:36,916
manipulate huge machines on Earth,

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,344
which will dig canals,
operate automated farming,

32
00:01:40,516 --> 00:01:43,083
plant crops, manage sea farms,

33
00:01:43,267 --> 00:01:46,067
monitor weather conditions and much more.

34
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:50,055
Outer space can be used to monitor the Earth.

35
00:01:50,781 --> 00:01:53,729
With the Earth turning
underneath the space station,

36
00:01:53,932 --> 00:01:56,258
it can monitor every continent.

37
00:01:56,701 --> 00:01:59,095
And by using infrared cameras,

38
00:01:59,255 --> 00:02:02,387
you can photograph plant
diseases all over the world:

39
00:02:02,498 --> 00:02:05,704
the Amazon jungle, Africa, all over.

40
00:02:05,852 --> 00:02:08,695
All that information can be concentrated

41
00:02:08,892 --> 00:02:11,384
in whatever lab needs that information.

42
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:12,880
The lab doesn’t have to ask for it.

43
00:02:15,729 --> 00:02:18,744
Further exploration of
the new frontiers of space

44
00:02:18,966 --> 00:02:23,120
will provide us with bountiful
resources and endless possibilities.
