Space transformation is an alternative project for the development of space expansion, the goals of which are the transformation of mankind into a space civilization, and further development in the direction of its construction, with an easy overcoming of the restraining barriers that hinder space expansion now, due to a new strategy, new technologies and methods of organization.
An alternative space expansion strategy, the construction of a space civilization starting on earth.
Now the main barriers to space expansion are considered to be the extreme high cost and complexity of full-scale industrialization of space. But this is true only to some extent. There are cost-effective projects for the industrialization of space, but they are not set as a goal. Groups that control states and big capital use space exploration as a means of strengthening their power. In the form of a decorative activity that strengthens their status. Real, full-scale, space colonization will lead to the growth of a new cluster of global corporations, which will become a new center of economic and political power, will compete with the established global management system. And eventually will supplant it, due to the superiority in organization, possession of the best technologies, the largest capitals and unlimited resources of space. Therefore, the real space expansion by states, large corporations and banks is not supported, but only suppressed. It is a competitor and a threat to the current global system.
The Cosmic Transformation Project is a new revolution in organization, personality, society and industry. The purpose of which is to translate the further development of mankind into the mainstream of the construction of a space civilization.
The main difference between space transformation and traditional projects of space colonization is that the main stake in it is on the transition of mankind to a life and technological way of life that corresponds to the principles of space civilization. And this transition will begin not in space, but on earth, in the form of a transition of people to new standards of organization of personality and thinking, society and industry. But after some time, the updated industry, transferred to space age technologies, will allow the colonization of the solar system, quickly and on a global scale.
Microfactories replicators and the space industry.
The core of the space age industry, which makes it possible to create a living environment on earth corresponding to the principles of space civilization and quickly colonize the solar system, these are inexpensive, mobile production complexes capable of producing any machines, and making copies of themselves, multiplying. “Microfactories – Replicators”, consisting of several 3D printers, assembly manipulators and a control system placed in a container. Replicators will greatly accelerate the industrial and economic growth on earth, and will allow the industrialization of space without gigantic costs, quickly and with high economic returns. Since microfactory and robotic groups in space will multiply at the speed of insects, requiring a small amount of supply from the ground, mainly high-tech parts that cannot be printed on printers.
If, according to the now familiar ideas, the industrialization of space means thousands of heavy rockets transporting large industrial enterprises of the modern type to the earth’s orbit, the moon and asteroids, which would require trillions of investments and could not develop quickly. Then, to launch the development of an extraterrestrial industry under the space transformation project, you only need a bunch of a replicator working as a production machine and a universal robot that serves to extract raw materials, maintain the replicator and build. The first space robots are likely to be made according to the Centaur scheme, an all-terrain vehicle chassis on tracks or wheels and a humanoid torso with computer control, and the ability to connect remote control if complex tasks arise that require human control. These machines can weigh from a few hundred kilograms to several tons and be delivered into space by mass-produced rockets with a launch price of about 50-100 million dollars. Not cheap, but available. In space, replicators and robots will begin to make copies of themselves, increasing in numbers at a rate of one to several thousand times a year. To supply robotic groups, rocket launches with instruments and electronics will be needed, but the relative weight of these parts is not large, and the first versions of robotic groups will be extremely simplified, since their main task is to multiply quickly and cheaply. increasing its numbers at a rate of one to several thousand times a year. To supply robotic groups, rocket launches with instruments and electronics will be needed, but the relative weight of these parts is not large, and the first versions of robotic groups will be extremely simplified, since their main task is to multiply quickly and cheaply. increasing its numbers at a rate of one to several thousand times a year. To supply robotic groups, rocket launches with instruments and electronics will be needed, but the relative weight of these parts is not large, and the first versions of robotic groups will be extremely simplified, since their main task is to multiply quickly and cheaply.
The first groupings of replicators and robots, in a few years, will multiply in quantities of tens of thousands of machines, build the first extraterrestrial industrial centers, which will be able to produce more complex products. Such as spacecraft and non-rocket transport infrastructure components. These are electromagnetic guns, cable slings, generators of narrowly directed microwave beams for rockets with thermal or plasma engines powered by an external energy supply, economical and reusable. Orbital tugs with multi-fuel plasma engines, for flights between orbits, between planets and asteroids, capable of consuming local resources as fuel, such as stone powder, water, or liquid oxygen, and consuming them economically. Plasma engines consume 5 to 30 times less fuel than chemical-fueled rocket engines. If chemical rockets can only launch research probes to other planets and asteroids, then plasma tugs are a reusable transport fleet, dozens of times more productive and cheaper.
After the creation of the extraterrestrial transport and industrial infrastructure of the first stage, cheap and mass communication between the earth and space will become available. The orbit of the earth, the moon, and asteroids will begin to be seeded with constellations of replicators that will grow rapidly. The replicator industry will build cascades of solar power plants in orbit, supplying the earth with cheap and clean energy, will begin to supply the earth’s industry with alien resources. First, rare and valuable, precious metals and rare earth elements from asteroids, which are needed for the high-tech industry. Then mass, structural metals.
To assess the wealth of space. One large asteroid, “Psyche”, contains metals and valuable elements in such an amount that it could make every inhabitant of the earth a billionaire. And that’s just one asteroid.
With the onset of mass industrialization of space, thanks to a rapidly growing replicator industry and unlimited extraterrestrial resources, humanity will enter a period of rapid progress. And it will make the transition to a qualitatively new stage of development, comparable to the transition to the modern level from the medieval as a result of the industrial revolution of the past. The Earth will become a scientific and technological center on a planetary scale, similar to a picture from a science fiction film. Archaism, poverty, inequality between states will become a thing of the past. Only a new leap in development will happen much faster, thanks to the speed of modern and promising technologies, it will last not centuries, but decades.
The development of a new industrialization project does not begin with the first replicators. These are quite complex, high-tech machines, and the creation of a scientific industrial laboratory for their design is an expensive and difficult task for a startup. In the early stages of the development of the space age industry, the main priority will be given to low-cost, low-tech projects that provide high profits and are capable of rapid growth. But working on the principles on which the technological environment of space civilization will be based, both industrial and business, and life. In the modern world, there are quite a few rudiments of space civilization, technologies, consumer goods that form the living and technological environment and standards for organizing life that correspond to its way of life, but they remain unnoticed. At the first stages of the space transformation project, the scattered rudiments of space civilization, such as the directions for the development of mass business, lifestyle and way of thinking, will be united into a system that serves as the foundation for the further development of industry and technology. And their popularization in the form of publications in the concept of the project, and in the media. Building on their basis a social and business ecosystem serving as the flagship of the further movement of mankind along the path of building a space civilization.
The socio-political system of space civilization is Netocracy.
The space civilization industry, which consists mainly of robots and container production centers that produce their copies and analogues, and therefore are not expensive and massive, will not be concentrated in the hands of large owners, but will be distributed in society, in the sphere of mass business. Accordingly, such a society consisting of independent economic players requires a distributed system of organization and management.
The socio-political system of space civilization is a network self-organization of society, “Netocracy”, a system of interaction between people via the Internet, replacing vertical, bureaucratic structures. Creating an alternative system of organization of society, alternative elite groups and control centers that operate independently of state power and big capital. Network structures fully implement the principles of democracy, public participation in management, with the redistribution of opportunities and advantages of the managing social layer and the distribution of income in their favor.
In contrast to the now traditional system of organization, in which the decision-making center is power groups, and the state and corporate bureaucratic system serves as the infrastructure of organization and management. The center of the organization of space civilization is located in the information environment. They serve as a general concept, a set of standards and principles that determine the way of life of a space civilization and a plan for its development, which serves as a roadmap for building a space civilization in the future. The concept is published on the Internet, it is available to any inhabitant of the earth. Any person can be guided by it when choosing from the universal road map their personal directions for organizing life and developing activities. Groups of planners, strategists, the conceptual elite, should develop and change the general concept.
The infrastructure for the organization and management of space civilization is netocracy, a system of connections and interaction between people through information communications, mainly via the Internet. It performs the same functions as the administrative system, the bureaucracy, in the vertical model of the organization of society. The basic principles of netocracy, organization in the form of a multi-level network structure, similar to the decimal system, well known since antiquity, but used mainly in the army, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on. With the formation of an ecosystem consisting of many networks of different specializations, social, business, infrastructural, intertwined with each other.
In the system of organization of a space civilization, all members of society are co-managers, endowed with equal basic rights and opportunities. The organizational elite is a social stratum of professional managers who sell their management services to society, receiving from it, in the form of remuneration, interest on profits or social fees. Society is free to choose which managers to obey and on what terms. Interaction between people in networks occurs on the basis of partnership. Interaction between the elite and society on the basis of an agreement. The elite of the netocracy has only one opportunity to hold on to managerial positions and rise above, maintain and raise the standard of living of society. There is no possibility of subordinating society by force or money. There is no opportunity to separate from society by social barriers, and become a closed ruling class. The netocracy elite does not have the ability to restrain progress for the sake of maintaining and strengthening power, the more active progress and growth in living standards, the stronger its position, and therefore netocracy is by its nature a progressive socio-political system aimed at development.
The main difference between a space age man is that he is a co-manager of a space civilization. In the organizational structure of cosmic civilization, society assumes the functions of the elite, the controlling layer, including the functions of the highest elite, the ruling class involved in the construction and organization of civilizational space. Only these functions are not monopolized by power groups. Subordination to centralized management structures is secondary for him, it is necessary to achieve a high quality of organization and life, on which a layer of professional managers should work. But the elite of the netocracy is open, dependent on the will of society and vitally interested in fulfilling the demands of society. It technically can’t turn into a ruling class, as bad and not conscientious managers working against the interests of society will lose confidence and be thrown out of the system. The functions of the ruling class in a netocracy are evenly distributed in society, the elite and ordinary participants have them equally.
The basis of space civilization is the personality of its supporters and participants.
In the now traditional system of organizing society, the bulk of society is subordinate to elite groups that control the course of civilization development. And a layer of employees, performers, officials, policemen, professors who support the work of the system and order in society. They control the situation. The main part of society is subordinate to them, but has freedom of action in economic matters relating to their lives and can participate in management at the local level. It has the ability to influence politics and the economy, voting for parties created and financed by the elites, but only within the framework that defines the elite groups and which does not prevent their control over society.
In a space civilization, the role of elite groups is distributed in society, society has complete control over its life, over the administrative system and over the development of civilization. The course of development of civilization is corrected by the strategic coordinating council, which develops a general concept, a set of main rules, living standards and plans for the development of civilization. The Strategic Coordinating Council corrects the general concept by consulting with the public, experts, conducting surveys and discussions. The layer of performers serving the organizational infrastructure is the coordinators of the network system, hired managers whose employer is society. Under such a system, society is a collective strategic manager that determines the course of development and life of civilization.
To participate in the project of building a space civilization, first of all, it is necessary to switch to the type of thinking and the type of personality that correspond to its principles. The peculiarities of co-managers, strategists, are that there are no bosses over strategists, no one tells them what to do, they completely control their lives and participate in the management of various projects, from a local to a civilizational scale. The subordinate thinks and acts in the corridor of opportunities that power gives him. The strategist can use all the potential possibilities, his corridor of thinking is the fundamental basis of knowledge accumulated by human civilization over the previous history. You can get this information from the Internet, it is publicly available. Strategists do not have strict subordination and predatory exploitation of each other, they agree, distribute roles and responsibilities,
In a traditional vertical system, elite groups take control of society and educate people in the type of personality they need so that society is a convenient servant for them, without a strategic mind. It was able to think mainly at the philistine level and at the level of narrow professional competencies, so that they could play the role of servants, but could not claim to be masters of the situation. Space civilization is built and organized according to the information template, due to the initiative of citizens. Its socio-political system works in general terms as follows. Strategic management has the form of an information template, following which is advisory in nature, if society accepts the general concept, it builds its personality, life and activities according to this template. Supreme, conceptual, the elite does not have the ability to impose its will on society, if its organization and development scenarios are not interesting to society, it simply ignores them. The managerial elite, the network coordinators, are dependent on the society for everything. Accepting the living standards of a space civilization, the followers of this path of development first acquire a strategic type of thinking, gain control over their personality, then control over their lives and activities, then build a system that they control and in which they occupy the position of the dominant social stratum.
Space civilization is first a model of a new world and a set of life principles in the minds of the participants and supporters of the project, backed up by their personal strength and readiness for action, and then public organizations, corporations and government agencies.
The main personal characteristics of the participants and builders of the space civilization are: First of all, the type of thinking of an independent player who completely controls his life and co-manages the world civilization. Also striving to fulfill the moral code, which provides personal strength and confident life positions. Such as: Maintaining a healthy tone and strong personal energy. Initiative, willingness to take action, willingness to take risks. Understanding that every person is the creator of his life and he is responsible for what results it comes to, except for force majeure situations. Understanding that significance in society depends on how interesting and useful you are to others. The desire for dominance, expressed in the desire to take the highest possible position in life, not accepting dependence on anyone, a person, state or power group. The desire to avoid dependence on circumstances, but to dominate them. The desire to take firm personal positions, but at the same time respect for the personality and life position of other people, readiness for an agreement, partnership and interaction. Moral equality with other people, regardless of position in the social hierarchy. The main priority in life is not the desire to climb the social hierarchy as high as possible, but the desire to realize one’s personal potential as fully as possible, as this gives life content and satisfaction with life. partnership and interaction. Moral equality with other people, regardless of position in the social hierarchy.

The main priority in life is not the desire to climb the social hierarchy as high as possible, but the desire to realize one’s personal potential as fully as possible, as this gives life content and satisfaction with life.
The transformation of mankind into a space civilization begins with publications and communities on the Internet.
In the traditional administrative-financial scheme of organization, there is too much rigidity and inhibitory factors hindering development. Therefore, in my projects, I took as a basis a different organization scheme in which the project operates in the information space, in the space of personality and interaction between people. That is, the concept of the project is published on the Internet and the media, broadcast to a global audience. Getting acquainted with the concept, people get an idea about the structure and development plans of a space civilization, about the advantages and opportunities that it gives, and this knowledge becomes their intellectual capital. The system of personal development within the project, following which people will organize their own lives and professional activities without relying on commands from above from government officials, will contribute to the rapid transition of information into action, into business development, improvement of technologies and methods of organization, construction of infrastructure. Thanks to this, information and personal capital will be transformed into material. The socio-political system of space civilization, based on conceptual management and network structures, with a high share of civil self-government, in which society has the functions of an elite, will also contribute to the rapid development of the project and the rapid reformatting of the earth to the life and organizational standards of space civilization. The organizational system of a space civilization has minimal administrative and power brakes and a high desire for progress, which makes it the flagship of world development. improvement of technologies and methods of organization, construction of infrastructure.

The first steps towards the transformation of mankind into a space civilization is the popularization of the project. The first steps towards the formation of an organization and management system are communities on the Internet, in social networks and on forums, from which social business network communities and a layer of professional managers will later grow.
Movement in the space age does not need power, but if you need it, nothing prevents you from starting it.
What can states or large corporations offer you in their space exploration plans? States during the space race have created expectations of an early transition to the space age under their control, and used your interest in this topic to raise their ratings, strengthen their power. What they promise you now is basically the same. In 5, 10 years they will make a manned base on the moon, wave a flag from there, in another thirty years they will wave a flag from Mars, and they will sing self-praising hymns from high stands. The growth of your living standards due to space age technologies and extraterrestrial resources under their control is only expected sometime in a bright future.
What can space private traders, representatives of big business offer you? From 2005 to 2015, there was a rise in interest in the space industry, space resources, many private projects appeared on this wave, but now this wave has been stifled and forgotten. Elon Musk with the project of a city on Mars? The economic feasibility of this project is zero. The maximum that he pulls is a scientific base for several people at the budget expense, and maybe several tourists of billionaires fly there. If this project is implemented to some extent, what will it bring from the point of view of the full-scale industrialization of the solar system, from the point of view of humanity’s transition to the space age? The development of the Starship super-heavy reusable rocket, which is being conducted by Space X, makes sense only for large infrastructure programs. Mars colonization project This is fiction, entertainment for schoolchildren. Plans for the industrialization of near-Earth orbit, near-Earth asteroids and the moon have not been announced. From which we can conclude that this missile is being made for a military program. The last project, the Starlink satellite network, did not revolutionize communications, but is actively used by the military. Previously, the United States pressed the banana republics with aircraft carriers, collected tribute from them, now they plan to press them with orbital bombers. How does restraining the economic growth of rival countries and plundering them contribute to world development and shared prosperity? but is actively used by the military. Previously, the United States pressed the banana republics with aircraft carriers, collected tribute from them, now they plan to press them with orbital bombers. How does restraining the economic growth of competitor countries and plundering them contribute to world development and shared prosperity? but is actively used by the military. Previously, the United States pressed the banana republics with aircraft carriers, collected tribute from them, now they plan to press them with orbital bombers. How does restraining the economic growth of rival countries and plundering them contribute to world development and shared prosperity?
What do you decide in the global development strategy under the traditional system? You are the masses serving the ruling class, your type of thinking is to consume what is poured into your heads from propaganda offices. In principle, it is possible to influence the direction of development through changes in public opinion, through demonstrations, elections and protests, but this is very long, complicated, and not very effective.
Participation in the construction of a space civilization according to the scenario I described. Borrowing information about the concept of the project, the transition to the type of personality of the manager acting on his own initiative, the transition to the standards of space civilization in his life, public organization, business, industry and technology, in free access for everyone who is interested in it.
Further, obtaining results in the form of personal development, the development of a society of justice and open opportunities, the growth of living standards. With the beginning of the mass distribution of replicators, the acceleration of economic growth by dozens of times, the opportunity for any person to become an entrepreneur with a middle-class standard of living. With the beginning of the mass industrialization of space, the removal of any restrictions on further economic growth. The rise of world civilization to a qualitatively new level of development.
If you want to start a personal journey into the space age, nothing prevents you from doing so.
Nikolai Agapov.
