In: Proceedings of The Founding Convention of the Mars Society, edited by Zubrin, RM, and Zubrin, M. Univelt, Incorporated.

Right through the history of Mankind the necessity for exploration and expansion is very clear and evident fact, this can be summarized in one sentence - our Society and Civilization needs to Explore and Expand in order to survive.

We can look at various examples including the origins of the United States and this is exactly the first reason why Mars is the key to our continuous survival. Getting there, therefore is not only about finding microorganisms or evidence of past civilizations or to test our rockets. If we look around today in the World what do we see? And if we take the last part forty years what do we see? The same issues are being still unanswered and the greatest society dangers are creeping in - Drugs, Mobs, Prostitution, War, Racism, Terrorism Radicalism....etc are all still here and in a big way.....and who said the Atomic Age is a thing of the Past.

So it’s simple Space Exploration with the kick off start, Mars is the channel through which, once again our civilization will expand through and develop into. By doing this we will automatically absorb our civilization will expand through and develop into, by doing this we will automatically absorb all the Global Resources, because its new dimension and that is what it takes to get there and to live there. If our society explodes outwards we have a healthy existence if we don’t we will continue to grow and finally take over, we will move into a feudal, overpopulated polluted world.

Lets use the next century to put our old issues finally into history and move into the next dynamic of new futuristic society - let’s start with Mars and there in an intelligent way - THAT IS ABOUT SPACE EXPANSION,OUR LAST DIMENSION AND OUR SURVIVAL.
