Spaceship Mind – Virtual Migration to Exoplanets

It is an astonishing revelation that the most complex structure in the known universe, in the current space and time, is the human brain. Buckminster Fuller wrote the ‘Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth’ and to this date it is very relevant in the context of Earth, but as the father of Russian Astronautics (Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky) said: “The earth is a cradle of the mind, but we cannot live forever on a cradle.” What if the spaceship that we live on is not the Earth, but the mind?

Earth is inevitably faced with climate change and eventually our impact will make its mark so deep that we will need to look for a new place to live in space if we wish preserve the human species, or in fact any species.

What makes Earth habitable is liquid water – if there is no blue there is no green. Water creates atmosphere – the second skin that makes our existence possible. Only recently we have discovered that there are Earth like planets in other solar systems, orbiting another star in the Goldilocks zone. They are called Exoplanets. If there are other intelligent life forms out there, then most likely we are to find them on Exoplanets. There is just one small problem – the speed of light.
