- Abstract
Author will present the concept and the latest status of a new social space service, “Space Library” on the International Space Station, starting from April 12 (Yuri’s Night) under the support by space agencies, ordinary commercial companies, Medias and their listeners and readers in Japan. The basic idea of the “Space Library” was studied at the Space and Society Course of Summer Session Program 2004 by International Space University as an author’s personal assignment. The purpose of the “Space Library” is to build a universal open architecture, connecting between space and society, for enabling to develop and share the answers to a question, “Where do we come from? Who are we? Where do we go?” The key components on the universal open architecture are Space Renshi and messages to the future. The author will show some of those messages and show the value of space on society for preserving the diversity of life on the Erath. The author will also show the load map of the “Space Library” to make it universal common space service and would like to discuss about the possibility. I need both oral presentation and poster and could contribute to the symposium by some work shop to gather messages to the future.
