Transportation
is one of the 6 super trends that are projected to continue into the future.
This super trend states that transportation will become more easily accessible
into the future, and open up new layers of globalization. However, individuals
such as Elon Musk from SpaceX are looking past improving transportation strictly
for our planet. But is looking towards a more lofty goal – Mars. SpaceX is
currently developing space shuttles with the capability to launch and land on
Mars to start, and establish a Mars colony. Mars-one, a not-for-profit
organization that is sponsored by SpaceX is planning to launch four individuals
on a one-way ticket to Mars by 2023 and send a new set of four astronauts every
two years to help establish a permanent human settlement on Mars. Just as the
first transatlantic flight from Frankfurt-am-Main to Lakehurst opened the
floodgates to globalization and lead to a more connected society, a new colony
on Mars would do the same. However instead of this phenomena taking place in
the realm of globalization, it ends it, and opens humanity to a new realm of
possibilities of uni-planetization. Just as the decisions of nation states
affects the global intricacies of surrounding states, but also every country on
earth. However, with uni-planetization our choices and decision are no longer
confined to the casual reaction of just our planet, but also every celestial
object that humans inhabit. By the
year 2030 there will be an end to an ideology and the beginning of a new ideal
that will have a profound affect on the way we conduct business, commerce, and
the way our species views itself in the universe.
