Some time ago I was in a presentation of the physics department at UNCW regarding deep space travel. It was presented by a scientist from the Goddard Space Labs. He stated there is far too much radiation outside of Earth's influence to expect to make it into deep space alive in the first place.
I have a 'thing' about Earth, it's home to us, our dedication to that home and it's uniqueness to the entire galaxy and the void of space where galaxies live.
The idea there is another habitable place to live that is Earth-like has it's detractor in me. Earth is unique and while astrophysicists naively or not so naively seek a new home for human beings they do so with anticipation and not caution.
So, if I may.
This is an illustration of the "Milky Way Galaxy." The Hipparcos Region is one explored by astronomers with a project of the same name. The name is Greek and is the name of a man that applied trigonometry to astronomy.
But, Earth is a minuscule part of the Milky Way. The disk shape of the Milky Way is important. It proves the organization of molecules and their spin actually have an effect on natural world movement. This spiral shape is repeated in many places in nature.
This image is also the Milky Way and where Earth is found.
Carol Rosin, (click here) who will introduce Mitchell at the event on May 5th and has worked for decades on our peaceful emergence into space says,” “It is time for us to acknowledge our place in the cosmos as sovereign Earth citizens and begin a new era of peace and prosperity for our planet,” states Rosin, who has been on a relentless life-long campaign to avoid the weaponization of space. “When we become a unified planet of fully conscious citizens, we will understand our place within the cosmos begins with peace here on Earth which means not just disclosure of other races, but of establishing a foundation for permanent peace.” More on the Treaty to Ban space-based weapons can be found at http://www.peaceinspace.com/
Kindly keep in mind Earth is unique. Astronomers like to think of Earth as an average planet that is in the habitable zone around an average sun. I can live with that. Literally. Average for a sun and planet seems right to me. Sort of like the Three Bears and Goldilocks. "Not to hot" and "not to cold," but, "just right.
On February 14, 1990 (Valentine's Day) Voyager 1 completed what is called the "Family Portrait" of the Solar System. Voyager 1 has left the Solar System and has gone into deep space. I don't hear much talk about either Voyagers these day, but, they are an incredible collection of data.
Why do I bring up the Voyager space probes? Because they sent back data that describes our Heliosphere.

The Heliosphere is the outer atmosphere of the Sun and marks the edge of the Sun’s magnetic influence in space. The solar wind that streams out in all directions from the rotating Sun is a magnetic plasma, and it fills the vast space between the planets in our solar system. The magnetic plasma from the Sun doesn’t mix with the magnetic plasma between the stars in our galaxy, so the solar wind carves out a bubble-like atmosphere that shields our solar system from the majority of galactic cosmic rays.
I like being average and to venture out of our solar system in search of a new home requires the idea there is danger between Earth and what is on the other side of the Heliosphere. I am just not convinced there is another planet as average and benevolent anywhere else than right here on Earth. Regardless of whether one believes in creation or evolution, this is the planet where we happened and it happened for a reason. Kindly get your minds around that FACT.
