The Greatest Asset....

It needs to be realized by anyone in the business of making money that people are not only businesses greatest asset but also its biggest profit. The planet's ability to support human life has grown exponentially alongside businesses ability to produce goods and earn profits. With the rise of industrial farming and preserving food has grown the population explosion to billions alive now. As we get better at what we need to do for our health care who knows what will be the next human milestone?
The people are why a business exists. Serving people products and/or services for their consumption that earns it a profit share is the goal of any business seeking to continue into the future. I think this needs to be further elaborated by far-thinking business people to business should exist to support the human condition and help it thrive and survive to a space exploring people. Human colonies dotting the night sky around the near stars working their way outward into the galaxy and beyond is my dream for humanity's future. It is my hope business will adopt this dream and put its efforts to the achievement of serving a space-faring race.
So far we have put men on the moon by rockets. We need to develop other means of access to space beyond the inner solar system's couple of years of travel. We need to develop engines worthy of star travel or like sailors of old take to deep space as colonist with no plans of returning in our lifetime. Space travelers may be the first new wave of human settlers as they venture beyond the solar system to the near stars with the promise for necessary resources.
Lifetimes of generations may live in the new class of colony starships hurtling to the stars. Lifetimes may be spent living and dying traveling in space to our new homes. It may take generations to reach the stars in behemoth ships supporting their colonists' needs with hydroponic farming on a purely vegan diet. Artificial sunlight farms and as yet an unknown power source (Solar power batteries?) fueling these starships and their passengers beyond the solar system on an epic journey.
It is a dream, for now.
