Simulation
has been a part of the human experience since our remote ancestors
painted on the walls of caves to share the excitement of the
hunt with those who could not be there. Over the millennia
our tools of expression have evolved to a level of sophistication
that the term “virtual reality” is no longer hyperbole. Current
technology allows us to communicate with the mass of humanity
to share the Overview Effect. This is especially important
as a means getting people to understand how unique and precious
our world is. Earth seen from space has no borders, no discernable
countries. Our terrestrial squabbles seem petty indeed in
light of the vastness of the universe. The Institute’s mission
to promote greater space awareness can be an important factor
in spreading world peace and helping humanity find its future
among the stars.
