We live in an era where uncertainty and disruption have become our daily reality. Consider these examples: we face a slew of global challenges all at once—rapid advances in technology (especially AI), the accelerating impacts of climate change, the revived quest for space exploration, the lingering aftermath of COVID-19, persistent economic strife, and ongoing military conflicts.

The real challenge lies in the fact that all of these are happening simultaneously, making it difficult for us as individuals to keep up with the pace of change. So, the question isn’t about how we can prevent all of these from happening or stop their development (has anyone ever successfully stopped technological progress? If so, please contact me). The real question is:

What can we do, individually and collectively, to shape what’s coming?

It seems that the power lies in our individual decisions and choices—unless we decide to do nothing, which, in itself, is a decision.

Right now, we face an extraordinary opportunity to make better decisions. We can debate endlessly about what “right” looks or is like, but perhaps it’s simpler to learn from history’s biggest mistakes—and refuse to repeat them. For starters, letting go of ego and the destruction it causes would be a great beginning.

Easier said than done, right? Yet, do we really have any other choice, especially when we already know alternatives exist?

Take the space industry, for example. Despite its rapid yet underappreciated development, it presents us with a unique opportunity. This is our chance to ensure its growth is ethical, sustainable, forward-thinking, and democratized.

Since we can’t stop this progress, the question becomes: What can we do about it?

Perhaps, instead of funneling trillions of dollars into weapons and unnecessary wars that cause immense suffering, we could redirect those resources toward solving existing challenges like poverty and ensuring the space industry becomes a role model for future and existing industries. Imagine it being an example of international co-creation, sustainability, and ethical practices.

I recently heard someone suggest that humanity originally came from Mars and found a safe haven on Earth after things went wrong there. Now, we’re trying hard to go back "home." But coming back home isn’t just about returning to Mars. If we’re heading “back,” perhaps it’s also about rediscovering who we are—our limitless capacity for collaboration, love, and support.

Sounds like wishful thinking, doesn’t it? Well, I’ve spoken to hundreds of people over the past few years, and the percentage of individuals who genuinely harbor hatred toward other people, cultures, or nations is close to zero.

Maybe it’s time to move from wishful thinking to wishful doing, creating a world where future generations can thrive on Earth while working peacefully and harmoniously toward the exploration and development of outer space.

This isn’t just another wish I’m sending to the Moon. It’s a dream I will actively pursue, channeling my love for creativity and co-creation into places that truly make a difference on Earth and beyond. Are you joining us?

Finally, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to my life over the past months. Your support has meant the world to me, and I can’t wait to co-create more magic together in the future.
