- Abstract
This paper maps out a vision demonstrating how the development of outer space and its resources can change the course of human history to benefit all humankind in direct meaningful ways. This will include an explanation outlining how outer space development can serve to build positive international relations between nations and end all war, conflict, poverty, inequality and injustice. It will identify global challenges, hot topics and ripe issues, and will explain how those challenges can be overcome through the use of connect the dot technologies to enable humankind to become a space faring civilization. Probable solutions for the legal obstacles perceived to be posed by the Outer Space Treaty, will also be set forth in the this paper.
