Musk, as he will gladly tell you, has a vision: Colonize Mars and make humans a multi-planet civilization. He sees it as insurance against a global catastrophe that leads to human extinction. (Quartz)
With the world currently using 1.6 planets worth of resources and our population heading to ELEVEN BILLON PEOPLE , it won't be long before we will need to book that trip.
Wouldn't it be better to salvage what we have left of planet Earth? WHY not get started with simple things like building all new building to be Net 0 & driving an electric car powered by the sun.
If Elon can build rockets at half the price as his competitors, and we know we can build Net 0 building at Net 0 additional cost as demonstrated by Dennis Cuku and his team at the Mosaic Center just maybe there is something to this thing they call LEAN.
"The secret to the low cost is relatively simple, at least in principle: Do as much as possible in-house, in an integrated manufacturing facility, with modern components; and avoid the unwieldy supply chains, legacy designs, layers of contractors, and “cost-plus” billing that characterized SpaceX’s competitors."
The Lean Construction Institute has recognized that traditional approach can be as risky as getting to the MOON and back that is why they have developed a new system called Lean Project Delivery. It is based upon some simple principles ... Hire the best people ... share the risk and reward.
When we use Contrarian THINKING, utilize lean and more integrated SYSTEMS, hire the best TEAM .... Mars in not the limit.
As I head to the theatre today to see the Star Wars - The Force Awakens, I wonder if we can resurrect "The Force" in all of us to preserve what we have left of this beautiful planet earth.
Let's start by making our building all Net 0 by 2020 and transporting ourselves around with as minimal as impact as we can IMAGINE.
If you need any help .... Lean Lab can train you ONLINE to deliver a Net 0 building project
or EcoSmart can build you a Net 0 home
or Integrated Designs can help create your Net 0 building.
Thank you QUARTZ for this wonderful article on Space Travel ... or is it Lean Project Delivery?
