ETT-The New Energy Opportunity For Transportation In The 21st Century

ETT-Evacuated Tube Transportation As An Efficient Transportation Mechanism And An Economic Export Opportunity

The New Energy For Transportation In The 21st Century

Anthony Toigo C 2008

Over the past century and a half, exisiting transportation mechanisms have served our human emergence very well. More human progress has been made during this period directly as a result of expansion and advancements in mobility. But now, these very useful mechanisms and the finite energy resources that propel them are in fact restricting economic growth and threatening improving living standard trends in established and emerging market economies. The restriction and threat is caused by a simple fact that existing transportation technology efficiency is too low and available fuel resources are diminishing while fuel demands and costs are increasing. Efficiency is the necessary key to removing the apparent bottleneck that exists. By effectively removing the bottleneck through effective efficiency technology, economic growth will then be allowed to move forward unrestricted. With dramatic technological advancements available today, transportation will become faster, more accommodating, lower cost, and far more efficient over the next 25 years. This real possibility has the potential to dramatically increase economic prosperity and stability for established and emerging economies alike. This proposed transformation promises a significant and massive shift in the revenue model of modern transport that also promises to provide significant opportunity. Technology is at the forefront and driving this transformation towards extreme efficiency and profitability. A transportation paradigm shift, based on globally licensed and patented technology will become energy resource agnostic and far less energy dependent, stable and will be economically progressive. This shift will play out as a transition from existing non sustainable, innefficient and environmentally unsound transport technology, toward sustainable, new, environmentally friendly and more efficient technology called Evacuated Tube Transportation Technology or ETT; a space environment travel mechanism on Earth. The established transport technologies will be supported by, and the current high dependence upon them will eventually be displaced by up to 90%, with the adoption of this new, simple and extremely efficient transport system. As a result of this transition, traditional combustion activities currently taking place that are related to transportation will also decrease significantly while more people will subsequently be served.

ETT is very efficient, fast, cost effective to build and being highly profitable to operate. Moving our economy sustainably forward will require accelerated effeciency improvement for ground and air transport, and adoption of emerging technology that uses very little energy. Energy input requriements for ETT for example, have been calculated to be about 1%-5% of that used in existing transport mechanisms employed today. This document will serve to address the new, emerging and efficient transportation technology called ETT, that will operate at the heart of and connect all existing transportation modes. ETT will do so initially over the longer and moderately long distances, connecting the most heavily traveled routes where the highest content volume is currently being carried.

ETT will bridge the long and moderate transport route distances with extreme efficiency while increasing capacity and speed and while also reducing time of transport duration. By employing this new mechanism of transport, existing mechanisms will be utilized more efficiently for shorter trips where these methods can continue to provide the most value. Existing transport mechanisms such as cars, trucks and busses are still best suited for routes that are shorter and that requrie more flexibility. The ultimate goal is to move more content at greater speeds over the longest distances at a lower more stable cost while using far less energy. The intention is to elongate existing supplies of fossil fuel energy while more sustainable and efficient transport systems and renewable power sources can become more highly developed and be deployed over time. The aim is to ultimately, create the possibility of serving a much higher content capacity than today with far less energy than we are currently using. Doing so while simultaneously creating a totally sustainable and highly profitable financial operating transport model in the process. Reducing excessive dependence upon expensive imported and limited fossil fuel resources by increasing efficiency is a key concern that continues to receive increasing support and recognition. Current cost for imported petroleum fuels for transportation for only the United States are estimated at $700 Billion. Reducing net fossil fuel combustion related to transport will create a more stable economic situation and will also provide the side benefit of creating a positive environmental result by lowering overall emissions release.

It is difficult to dispute global concerns about the effects that excessive combustion emmisions related to transport activities are having on our environment. ETT significantly reduces overall energy needs through efficiency of design and operation. The increased adoption of ETT will allow higher efficiency to result over time as it will eventually displace up to 90% of global transportation requriements. This displacement will reduce transport related combustion activities, thus reducing environmental impact by lowering overall emissions output. By also applying renewable and sustainable power resources to propel transportation while significantly reducing carbon releasing combustion transport activities; undesirable emission output as a result of mass adoption of ETT transport becomes practically non existant. By reducing the amount of traditional combustion oriented transport activities to the local realm as a result of an effective ETT deployment, those mechanisms will also lessen their net emission output as a result through displacement. The need for creating long term strategies that address excessive emmisions output have become mainstream and are becoming more apparent. Overall global sentiment appears to have reached a tipping point in favor of lowering carbon emissions release from all combustion activities including those related to transportation. Aside from the apparent effects of high volume carbon emmisions release, the increasing cost and questionable supply and availability of petroleum fuels used for transportation are also having far reaching effects, causing major concern over supply and demand issues for the near and longer term.

Fosil fuels are considered by experts to be the cornerstone of our modern economy by virtue of propelling nearly all transportation modes currently in use. Current trends indicate that demand for transportation services and fuels will continue to escalate while fuel resources diminish in supply. As the economy continues to exapand and as key emerging nations continue their rapid double digit growth rates, experts claim that this growing demand for transportation and fuels will logically continue to increase at twice the economic rate of growth. This statistic is based upon historical data and trends that are expected to logically continue. They are also indicating that the world is using all available fuel resources currently known and being produced. All of these known available fuel resources are now said to be dwindling in supply while demand continues to rise. Locating and extracting new resources of petroleum are considered to be becoming a more difficult and expenisve endeavor that also carries an increasing financial risk that provides little long term reward. The situation can only become more economically precarious as the economy itself remains so overly dependent upon questionable resource availability and related cost. Our economy is completely dependent upon limited fosil fuel resources and will continue to be at the mercy of the supply of this prescious resource. Leading experts claim that recent trends in energy pricing and availability will continue. Charles Maxwell, a Weeden & Company Senior Analyst, states that petroleum energy costs will most likely flatten out this year and possibly drop to as low as $3.50 per gallon later. Maxwell further states that oil production will probably remain in check with the current level of demand and price for the next eighteen months until demand begins to increase again in early 2010. Maxwell then expects demand to begin exceeding existing production capacity. At that point, He further indicates that fuel prices in the $6 to $7 per gallon range should be expected sometime after January of 2010. It is more than probable that a temporary decrease in fuel costs and reduced demand upon fuel resources may take place creating a false sense of security. It is important to recognize that the apparent trends and patterns of only the past seven years as an example, indicate that pricing and demand will continue to increase while supply availability continues to decrease. Current trends support Maxwell’s claim. The Global economy has recently begun a significant slowdown as a result of significant cost increases in petroeum. As a result and as predicted, demand for petroeum has fallen off temporarily. But we also must heed Maxwell’s estimate of increasing demand upon fuels for transportation as the economy again continues to emerge and expand within the next 18 months. The established recent trends that clearly show a steady and solid rise in the cost and demand for petroleum confirm the requirement to accelerate a transition to higher efficiency transportation technology. Converging trends beg the question of how an expanding global economy will be able to continue expanding with such drastic increases in energy costs and declining supplies taking place. Existing transportation technologies will in fact become more efficient and environmentally friendly. But it must be understood that sufficient efficiency gains are simply not achievable for these existing mechanisms to be able to meet the rapidly growing demand that cannot be served by the declining supply of energy that is required to propel them. Transportation depends upon oil and indications point to the fact that oil supplies have reached their peak potential at a critical time when demand for transportation is in fact increasing globally. Now is a time for action that creates the beginnings of a transition toward newer and more efficient transport systems.

What are the true risks shared by all nations that are associated with not addressing our core dependence upon transportation? The fact is that the modern world with its 6.5 billion human inhabitants faces great risk unless more efficient transportation methods are developed and deployed world wide. With such high global survival dependence upon inefficient transport mechanisms that rely solely upon limited fuel resources to propel them, we have effectively stepped out very far upon a limb that will not (in the long run) sustain our combined weight before ultimately reaching a breaking point. We don’t have to wait for the moment of breaking point to occur before taking intelligent and effective action. Current trends are beginning to speak very loudly to us that now is in fact the time to act. There is an inherent resposibility for us to take a path that will insure the safety and well being of every human inhabitant on this Earth. Efficiency measures through effective technology are the only pathway available to us and taking such proactive measures makes logical sense.

Efficiency is now an imperative that requries both recognition and addressing with collective, right and sound action. ETT is the next logical and profitable step toward providing the key component of the necessary transportation solution due to the efficiency that its simple design provides. From a technical perspective, this is accomplished through removing all restrictive matter in the travel path that creates resistance to motion that existing transport technologies encounter. By removing the restrictive atmosphere that all other existing mechanisms must push through, we have reduced a significant roadblock to increasing efficiency. Removing the atmospheric content from the path of travel immediately removes the main resistance factor that existing transportation technology cannot possibly overcome. The only other way to efficiently move existing transportation technologies without the normal resistance encountered here in our Earth’s natural atmosphere is to place these existing mechanisms into the space environment. That would not be a solution that is practical or possible since our transportation needs take place here on the Earths surface. Leaving the Earths surface and atmosphere to gain access to the evacuated environment of space requries the use of too much energy which defeats all purpose and reason in doing so.

Travel within a vacuum is highly proven. The Universe is a vacuum environment that allows the planets and all matter to move about freely in space without needing any additional energy input. Space is the most efficient environment for movement and travel. Our own Earth has traveled around the Sun at 67,000 MPH for all recorded history with no additional energy input required to keep it moving in orbit at the same constant speed. Why not emulate this simple and most efficient design that nature has utilized since the beginning of time to accomodate our transport needs here on Earth?

The basic principle of ETT is best understood by comparing it to the natural space environment. The vacuum of space is the most efficient environment created by nature for effortless movement. Space, simply is a naturally evacuated environment. ETT accomplishes space like travel here on Earth by placing a pressurized transport capsule that is about the size of a typical busines jet cabin within a controlled evacuated tube environment that is void of all atmospheric matter. The evacuated tubes are strategically routed initially to connect all existing popular trade transport routes. The capsules are suspended by means of magnetic levitation technology so no moving parts ever make contact with the tube. This no contact situation creates a zero rolling resistance effect. The capsules are carefully accelerated to cruising speed with liner accelerator motor technology. The capsules glide effortlessly within the tube once they reach the intended safe speed for the particular route. No additional energy is required to accelerate or move the capsule once it has reached the cruising speed except where vertical climb propulsion is needed. Vertical descent of transport capsules will be tapped for extracting energy that can be stored, transferred elsewhere and reused. The vacuum environment that is just like space provides this effortless environment for the capsule to move through. Nearly all of the energy that is used to accelerate the capsule is recaptured upon deceleration at the destination point. The end result is a very low energy requirement compared to any existing transportation technology available today. The majority of energy that was used to accelerate the capsule is now recaptured for reuse again.

There are many benefits derrived from the deployment of an effective ETT system. The space like environment also allows for significantly increased speeds and subsequently, a shorter travel duration. Travel from Washington D.C. to Beijing China for example will take place in about two hours. Imagine the increased productivity made possible by attaining such speeds in a very safe manner. No more concerns or need to accomodate inclement weather patterns that are a high consideration during air travel. Imagine creating the ability to move people and workforces to any location on the globe with very little effort or energy input requirement. Imaging doing so with very little environmental impact. This is possible to accomplish today. Time efficiency is a major benefit that occurs while moving content and passengers faster than ever before possible. Estimated speeds will be up to 350 MPH for local trips and up to 4000+ MPH for longer routes. The increased speed allows for a substantially significant increase of content moved per lane of traffic. This efficiency increase thus reduces infrastructure costs as a result. Less transport lane materials are needed when more traffic can be accomodated by faster and more efficient lanes. Very high speed travel takes place without endangering local wildlife since there is no environmental exposure to moving traffic. No current airplane design can accomplish such rapid travel so efficiently and elegantly as ETT promises. Freight and all transport costs decrease while creating stability for transportation services that are no longer excessively dependent upon unstable and uncertain fuel resource supplies. ETT utilizes electricity that can come from any source and is therefore agnostic in its requriement of electricty supply.

Automation helps to create additional efficiencies that provide significant increases in convenience. Due to the smaller form factor of the capsules, individuals and groups can now design their own travel schedules that fit their needs more perfectly. The capsule simply slips into the existing flow of traffic in a completely automatic way and all traffic moves at the highest, safest and most efficient speed possible. This automation and the smaller transport capsules eliminates the requirement for cumbersome and inconvenient travel schedules that currently exist. Travel can now be accomplished and be more in alignment with the value that was originally created by automotive transport but at a much higher efficiency rate and speed. The higher speeds and substantial increse in efficiency allows for more transport and travel to take place while using far less energy. More customers are able to be served more economically while also increasing revenue generating opportunities that did not previously exist.

This highly efficient new model for transportation creates the possibility for shifting dependencies upon energy to the more logical direction of using patented exportable and licensable intellectual property developed here in America. The creation of revenue generating facilities in the form of worldwide tube infrastructure can become a major key economic recurring revenue export for involved U.S. companies. The shift further indicates that transportation now relies upon this IP that creates new recurring revenue models that are completely sustainable, very profitable and stable. These new revenue models are protected by the existence of worldwide patents that are already in place for ETT. The IP is currently owned solely by ET3 of Crystal River Florida, USA. This is an American company that can effectively lead the entire globe’s transportation requriements well into the 21st century, easily and effortlessly while creating significant revenue streams for the U.S economy and many jobs for years to come. Transportation that is abundant, efficient and sustainable is the absolute number one requirement and opportunity in the 21st century. All of the progress of human kind has taken place as a result of the development of effective and abundant transportation. This requriement will only increase as we continue to progress into this new century as new economies continue to grow and emerge. The expanded opportunities lie within serving that growth and emergence intelligently and sustainably.

The build out of this system and the required research and development will requrie an investment for the future. Daryl Oster, ET3 President, has provided an estimate in 2003 figures to effect a buildout at a cost of approximately $2.5 million per mile for the easier to build land based transport tubes and $28,000 for transport capsules. This cost estimate does not include entry and exit air/vacuum lock facilities requried to store, remove and insert capsules at strategic locations. It also only addreses the cost for the easiest buildouts on the flattest land. The design would consist of two tubes that allow single lane, dual direction transport for each route. This investment will create a revenue opportunity that has long been proven and established through existng transoportation services and the energy supply chain that propels them. The shift that will take place begins to move passengers and content between the major transport shipping route points while charging for the use of the tubes and the capsule pods. The energy segment economic cost factor portion of the equation now becomse the non dominant factor for the first time due to higher efficiency. The larger scale deployment of this technology can begin to displace existing transportation methods and the energy expended to propel those inefficient mechanisms can be liberated. A transition now begins to take place where revenue is generated for the actual movement of goods and passengers without the high cost, restriction and unstable nature of finite supply fuels. Simple economics will drive a significant market transition that will mark the initial end of our dependence upon oil. As of the date of this writing, transport fuel costs have reached $700 billion annually. Is there not enough budget available to begin a transition toward more efficient transportation mechanisms? This money currently spent to import petroleum leaves the US economy and does not currently provide benefit, value or return. How much higher will petroleum fuel cost rise above Maxwell’s stated figure of more than $6 per gallon as petroleum resources become more scarce while demand increases?

This new transport model creates several interesting and compelling situations that are global in nature and opportunity. The first creates the true beginnings of energy independence for the United States. The second creates this new revenue model that generates recurring economic flow for the use of the system built world wide. This also creates the transition for the U.S. from being a net energy importer nation toward the more favorable of becoming an exporter of efficient and cost friendly transportation technologies and services. Other countries will be encouraged to participate in sharing the buildout cost of ETT systems with the U.S. as the system expands These other countries will also be participating in long term sharing of recurring revenue models that will displace current and non sustainable energy combustion paradigm mechanisms and models. The USA is faced with a compelling opportunity to decrease the overall cost of imported energy while also increasing recurring revenue opportunities by exporting extreme efficiency transportation services globally. Decisive action can effectively place the USA back into a position of being in a positive economic placement within the global community.

The opportunity currently exists to sustainably revive and maintain global economic growth. The creation of abundant and cost effective transport systems will have a very positive economic effect upon existing and emerging economies alike. Existing economies will experience a more stable and sustainable growth situation that is not limited by finite petroleum resources suffering from production and discovery bottlenecks. . Emerging economies will also benefit as well by attaining safe affordable and stable means of transporting their people, goods and services. This also will create new and sustainable economic possiblities for these newly emerging nations by allowing both reasonable cost export and import transport mechanisms that are attainable through the lower cost created by ETT’s high efficiency. The new transport mechansim of ETT will effectively connect all corners of the globe; creating a situation where anywhere is accessable easily, cost effectively, sustainably and efficiently.

The companies that choose to become involved will create new revenue opportunites for themselves as active participants from the adoption of this new transportation technology. Companies such as Walmart for example, who rely entirely upon stable, dependable and low cost transportation will want to participate in the buildout, ownership and usage of a world wide ETT system. Walmart for example could operate as both a passive and active participant by providing initial seeding for early development of ETT. The retail giant could later become their own customer of reduced cost transport services. Walmart is the largest retailer on the planet with stores and interests worldwide that requrie stable connectivity to a complex distribution network. Walmart is sincerely interested in sustaining their own long term ability to both survive and thrive well into the future that is entirely dependent upon effective transportation and logistics. Efficient and dependable transport is key to a sustainable business model for the long term prospects and possibilities of this company. With the active participation of Walmart, many locations across the globe would automatically become connected. The benefits and outcome of such participation would be many fold for Walmart and a win win win for transporters, riders and tube system owners. Stores that are presently and strategically located throughout rural America for example, would become key on and off points for ETT. Such an operating model will create a very efficient situation that would begin to validate the rural living model. It will accomplish this by efficiently connecting these necessary communities that supply the vast majority of our country’s agricultural goods.

An ETT distributed ownership model held by responsible corporations should help insure long term stability and a non monopolistic environment that will serve required profitability model expectations as well. ETT is about the possibility of an initial collaboration of U.S. based companies serving a global opportunity. The additional cooperation of state governments, state employee pension funds, NASA and the federal government for expample should also be highly encouraged. International, multinational corporate and governmental involvement should be encouraged to insure a more diverse and distributed transport investment and ownership model. Outside investment from other nations will also assist in the more rapid adoption and deployment of ETT. The quality of life for practically everyone on Earth today relies in some way upon transportation services. Any company involved in the development and deployment of ETT will be providing a direct postive impact and improvement upon global quality of life in both existing and emerging encomies alike.

Our entire world has made such large strides in progress and has experienced a tremendous shift that has created such a heavy dependence on transport services in the process. Today it can be stated confidently that the entire transportation mechanism that exists is likened to the intricate vascular system of the human body. This vascular system now feeds everything that an inter dependent world body organism requries to live and survive. It has become quite apparent that all of humankind is truly in this together without exception and depends upon abundant and reliable transport mechanisms. A wise choice and selected course would lie in the understanding that our very way of life and our continued progress require a full commitment and a singular vision toward the attainment of an important goal. Developing an initiative to create sustainable transportation systems, similar to the initiative which inspired us to take the necessary steps that got us to the Moon and back should be seriously considered. A subsequent commitment toward achieving the goal and reality of then deploying ETT would then be the next logical step. When a very bold vision was conveyed to the citizens of the U.S.A in the early 1960s by the late Preisdent Kennedy, a decision was made to create a singular space agency called NASA. NASA currently holds some of the most most knowledgeable and experienced aerospace scientists, engineers and physisists on the planet as a result of that bold vision and the subsequent course of action taken. NASA also assembled the necessary team to both plan for and to fulfil the requried tasks necessary to get our Astronauts to the Moon and back safely. Their recorded achievement was nothing less than amazing considering that less than 100 years earlier, the predominent mode of transportation was still provided by the horse. Our need for effective transportation and our opportunity to serve a global need is not any different than the importance of going to the Moon that was realized nearly 50 years ago. We know a lot more today because of that important choice. Leveraging that knowledge to serve a global need really seems to make a lot of sense. Treating our transportation needs with the same importance as designing a mission to get to the Moon while involving NASA is a logical choice.

The involvement of NASA could provide our country with a significant boost and a confidence that could bring about strong feelings of unity, certainty and empowerment with a global purpose and opportunity in mind. Employing the vast resources and knowledge base acquired by NASA space exploration activities would be highly beneficial and should be welcomed and encouraged. Additionally, NASA has well established budgetary channels and mechanisms already in place in Washington. Their involvement makes sense and their labratories that can create the space environment here on Earth, at their Florida facility are the perfect environment for further development of the ETT system. The direct involvement of NASA would help fasttrack the development and deployment of ETT thus creating a vast opportunity to serve the future transportation need of our expanding global body.

ETT offers more than a reduction in transportation costs and a significant increase in efficiency. It also represents an opportunity to continue to expand business for existing entities already in transportation or that require it. Existing and new players can become directly and actively involved in providing the essential elements for ETT to experience a successful emergence while creating a significant global economic opportunity in the process. The direct involvement of new entrants and existing transportation services companies, both active and passive, will allow transportation to continue and to also expand in availability and opportunity. Companies such as Exxon Mobil, Boeing, Major Airlines, FedEx, UPS for example, stand to gain from the development, use and adoption of ETT in a directly active role. A transportation services transition will take place that is significant in providing an expanding opportunity that has never before been experienced from an economic perspective. The proposed opportunity is far greater than any that currently exists due to the sheer size of the globes growing population now estimated at 6.5 billion waiting to be served. The ETT opportunity provides an exceptional road for economic expansion that does not exist with the current restricted petroleum model. Exxon for example, stands to gain by being part of the transition away from providing pollution emmiting combustible products with a finite lifespan and limited revenue opportunities that are not sustainable; toward an inexhaustable supply of transportation services that will easily and profitably meet global demands as they continue to grow. Exxon has the opportunity to create and expand their own sustainable and very profitable business future by serving the global transport needs with sustainable technology.

The recent spikes in petroleum demand and cost has caught the world by surprise. This is an indisputable trend that is taking place. The term “Peak Oil” has many wondering whether we have reached that milestone a bit earlier than originally projected. During January of 2002, in southern California for example, gasoline prices were less than $1.00 per gallon. It was very difficult at that time to imaging paying more than $4.00 per gallon of gasoline in the United States as it stands today. If Charles Maxwell is correct in his analysis that we are currently using all available produced oil at this time. And, if only China (not including India) lives up to its projected potential by 2050 to be consuming the equivalent of all of today’s known capacity to produce and supply petroleum(estimated to be 99 million barrels by 2050); it begins to appear that this is the proper time to take proactive steps toward a more sane approch that can effectively meet our growing global transportation needs. It is good news that we have problems that are solvable with the appropriate application of effective technology and that this technology is available for development now. ETT is in fact the proper technology for this time that can not only solve the vast and growing transportation requriements of 6.5 billion global citizens, but it will also create a significant financial opportunity that is impossible to ignore by this country, its businesses and its citizens. We all stand to gain the most by developing a technlolgical gift that is available to us right now. We may never have such an opportunity available to us that can so effectively secure our economic future and success.

The U.S. Economy is still the largest and most dynamic on Earth. Maintaining a strong economy well into the 21st century is an imperative so long as there are other regions in this world that remain unstable. Special consideration needs to be placed upon the uncertaities being created by massive economies that are emerging. We currently have no sense of how those economic forces will play out as they continue to grow in power. The final collapse of the former Soviet empire provides the perfect evidence of the important role that a vibrant economy plays in maintaining a strong military. China for example continues to increase its military power for no apparent reason while no other conutry is doing so in such an agressive manner other than the U.S. We have a unique opportunity to truly create a peaceful world through the spread and creation of prosperity made available through efficient transportation technology that can connect all parts of the globe equally, sustainably efficiently and easily. We have a responsibility to maintain our economic might in order to remain empowered well into the future and until the world becomes a more friendly and cooperative place to co exist within. The U.S. nor the rest of the world does not need to be held hostage by competitive situations for finite resources that have become so unstable in nature. The rest of the globe is no longer safe under this structure either. This is the precise type of situation where opportunity is born from. Today it can be confidently stated that economic prosperity equates to national and global security that create the possibility of achieving global peace. The fighting of wars over finite resources of every sort can easily be traced back through recorded history as the main motivator of such warring efforts taking place. ETT holds a promise of creating prosperity and peace through abundant transportation and the creation of opportunity that cannot take place or be supported by existing high cost transportation mechanisms in use today. Reducing excessive global dependence on finite energy resources will promote a peaceful situation by removing the threat and need to compete for those limited fuel resources. Finite energy resources still hold the vast majority of the worlds population hostage to impoverished circumstances becasue there simply is not enough to go around and demand only increases cost further. The increasing cost and decrease in supply of fuels will only create a wider gap, making it more difficult for the impoverished peoples of the Earth to cross.

There never has been in the history of our world, a more creative, inventive and productive group of people such as there are right here in these United States. When called upon in the past by a requirement to take action, we have always somehow been able to not only meet the need but to also excel in doing so. During our own struggle for independence, or during the second world war, or while achieving Man’s ago old desire to send a human being to walk on the moon for example, we have always risen to the occasion and successfully accomplished our objective. When such occasions requrie, our ability to unify for a singular cause has proven to create powerful results. Unlike any other group in history, we have in fact proven to be a very strong and resoruceful group of people who have been able to create a nearly inexhaustable supply of ability, creativity and innovation. The ability of this country to innovate is indisputable and unsurpassed. Our ability to unify in the face of serious circumstances is unparalleled.

Many people of this world may have already written off the United States as having lived past its time of glory, purpose and value. The fact is that we are only just beginning yet another new birthing phase of an amazing experiment that was started over two hundred years ago by a very courageous and visionary group of intelligent human beings. Let’s provide a true sense of justice that honors both that vision, courage and the efforts of our founding Fathers, Mothers, Daughters and Sons by becoming the next generation of Fathers, Mothers, Daughters and Sons for many future generations to come. We can best honor our children, ancestors and our fellow human kind by taking right action while still moving forward. Now is our time, our moment of truth to provide effective leadership and to become the next great generation through a cooperative and collaborative opportunity that can benefit and serve the needs of all mankind.
