They had initially invited Marsha Freeman to speak about Ehricke based on the work she had done about (and in cooperation with) him. Unable to attend in person, she recommended that they invite Helga Zepp-LaRouche, with whom Ehricke had worked and who had written such a moving speech on him at the Krafft Ehricke Memorial in Washington in 1985. The person she was in touch with was very enthusiastic about the opportunity of having Helga speak and was quickly put in touch with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She spoke about Ehricke\u2019s legacy, outlining his achievements in space engineering, but laying emphasis on his philosophy of man, quoting extensively from Ehricke\u2019s works, Anthropology of Astronautics and his \u201cThree Laws of Astronautics.\u201d She also described Ehricke\u2019s work in ridiculing the zero-growth insanity that was flourishing in the 1970s with the Club of Rome and Global 2000 report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She detailed in particular Ehricke\u2019s observations on how a person\u2019s view on life can change when under different circumstances. The goal today was to effect such a change in a population that feels itself downtrodden and pessimistic, she said. Such a change of perspective can occur when man begins to colonize the Moon and goes to Mars, people will begin to view humanity from a higher standpoint, as a spacefaring species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The role of those involved in space is to bring such a paradigm shift to the population\u2014astronauts going out to the schools and the universities and encouraging people to \u201clook to the stars,\u201d and look a hundred years ahead and beyond. People used to think that traveling 50 km per hour would be very dangerous, she said. Now China is working on maglev trains that will travel 600 km per hour, and people will accustom themselves to the new paradigm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While she was showing the audience the painting of Ehricke\u2019s Selenopolis, the design for a city on the Moon, she expressed that Ehricke\u2019s vision was not simply to build a city or a village on the Moon, but to prepare the basis for travel into the galaxy and beyond, citing Ehricke\u2019s unfinished work on Interstellar Relativistic Space Travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her presentation also provoked an interesting discussion, and she was warmly received by the organizers and the audience. The moderator of her panel was Bernard Foing, who was also very excited by Mrs. LaRouche\u2019s presentation. Foing was the Chief Project Scientist for ESA\u2019s SMART mission to the Moon, and is the Executive Director of the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) and the president of Space Renaissance International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full video of the proceedings is available here https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Tz80F6TczJQ&amp;t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helga Zepp-LaRouche was a speaker on the July 7, the first day of a three-day Space Renaissance Art &amp; Science Festival in Berlin, addressing \u201cThe Actuality of Krafft Ehricke\u2019s Vision.\u201d [See draft transcript in Documentation.] The conference was sponsored by the Space Renaissance International, an organization that was set up by some Krafft Ehricke space [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":89269,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[842],"class_list":["post-89268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein","tag-lang-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89268"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89292,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89268\/revisions\/89292"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
