http://www.bis-spaceflight.com/sitesia.aspx/page/1898/l/en-us
Some enthusiasts foresee ten-fold increases in energy and resource use efficiency (reduction of ‘T’ by a factor of ten), but ‘P’ and ‘A’ will swamp us eventually.Can space activity transform the equation or make it redundant? Our speakers certainly think so. Informed by the visions of Gerard O’Neill and the current state of play, we will be presenting many facets of ‘Can Space Save the Planet?’.
Would any person wishing to present a paper please submit a title
