Rick Justus and King & Justus want to send humans to the cosmos and create new abundant civilizations

A conversation with Rick Justus, founder and chairman of King & Justus, about his grand vision is mind-altering. Rick is a self-educated futurist who likes to describe himself as a "multi-disciplinarian" -- a modern day Da Vinci on a very real quest for wisdom.

Rick is a designer as well as an engineer of a different kind. He's a prolific inventor, having spent his whole life (he's now 47 years old) conceiving of and formulating innovations to add years to our lives, life to our years, and faster-than-light (FTL) travel to our interstellar ambitions.

Peer to Jacque Fresco, Rick carries on Jacque's vision of a future where war is obsolete; there's zero lack of any resource that is needed, and our focus as a species is abundance sustainability. He passionately presents a "potential future" that is abundant for all of humanity -- Abundant Future by Design -- with real and workable alternatives to our present paradigm.

"Wisdom is wisdom. Humans are destined to be a multiplanetary species. Wherever humans are, Earth, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Space Stations, and so on, wisdom works," says Rick. He continues, "Abundance is not only a superior context, it's the ultimate context for humanity, therefore leadership. At the speed of our continued evolvement, expansion, and awakening, the idea of an abundant future by design doesn't feel like it's too far of a stretch anymore. It still sounds crazy, but not too crazy." Smiling, he adds, "Crazy pays well. Some of us are here to redesign the game itself."

Rick Justus is an unconventional and open character who is radical, and at times, his exponential thoughts result in both controversy and praise.
