Gaia Selene is a substantive attempt to connect the goal and purpose of going into space (and to the Moon specifically) with the goals and purpose of preserving the Earth and preventing environmental destruction. It presents the views of leading scientists that substantiate this connection and its importance as a necessary course of action.
Although the Title may have a deceptively "New Age" character, in fact the video is the opposite of fuzzy optimism or futuristic blather. It presents a set of opinions and perspectives from well informed and highly qualified scientists and is solidly optimistic and seriously upbeat.
This is an excellent reprieve from the ceaseless rain of environmental pessimism and especially welcome in that unlike the typical "forecast of doom" presentations this video addresses environmental concerns with pragmatic future solutions to serious global environmental problems. It is a significant foundation stone for space activism. Dennis Wingo, the author of MoonRush, a excellent book about the economic and environmental process of building an Earth Moon economy has succinctly summarized this position by echoing JFK: "We go to the Moon to save our civilization here." Chip Proser has done a great job of capturing the best and the brightest.
