Abstract :
Is there the possibility that some time from now a good portion of the earth´s population will be living elsewhere in the universe? “Yes,” says Dr. A. R. Kantrowitz, director of AVCO Research Laboratories. “Migrations have always been a result of people running away from something, not toward something and you don´t have to look far today to see the pitchfork.” He referred to the potential power of nuclear energy which he said “needs the vastness of interplanetary space” to make a situation we can live with. If space migration is a possibility of the not-to-distant future, then what of the more distant future asked another panelist. “Will there be a back-to-earth movement?”
