Wanderers - a short film by Erik Wernquist from Erik Wernquist on Vimeo. Read more:
One of the most stunning videos I've seen, one which makes me ever more anxious to get out, to explore and discover. There is only one impediment to out exploring other worlds, and that is desire. There are many less productive things that stimulate the economy, from ultra expensive food to multi million dollar paintings. What allows these industries to thrive is desire.
If the desire existed we could spend hundreds of billions of dollars to collect explorer journals and photographs of our Solar system, rocks from other planets as jewelry. The problem is people desire other things....
But this is turning as more and more super rich found companies such as Space X, Virgin Galatctic, and Planetary Resources.
Further falling prices, and ever greater wealth will allow us to eventually push out further. In the mean time, perhaps the most important thing to do is to keep increasing our desire for a wonder filled future.
