U.S.A.F. Chief of Staff 2013 Professional Reading List Selection Nearly forty years passed between the Apollo moon landings, the grandest accomplishment of a government-run space program, and the Ansari X PRIZE-winning flights of SpaceShipOne, the greatest achievement of a private space program. Now, as we hover on the threshold of commercial spaceflight, authors Chris Dubbs and Emeline Paat-Dahlstrom look back at how we got to this point. Their book traces the lives of the individuals who shared the dream that private individuals and private enterprise belong in space. Realizing Tomorrow provides a behind-the-scenes look at the visionaries, the crackpots, the financial schemes, the legal wrangling, the turf battles, and--underpinning the entire drama--the overwhelming desire of ordinary people to visit outer space. A compelling story of the pioneers of commercial spaceflight--and their efforts to open the final frontier to everyone--this book traces the path to private spaceflight even as it offers an instructive, entertaining, and cautionary note about its future.

Global warming. Pandemics. Heatwaves. Droughts. Terrorism. Wars. Famine. And who, really, expects things to get better? At least anytime soon? On the contrary, the future can look awfully bleak. And who, at times, doesn't feel helpless before it all, especially before the unknown? Which is why one of the most tantalizing questions we sometimes ask ourselves is: Can the future be known? Obviously, with people spending billions each year on psychics, palm readers, horoscopes, tarot cards, fortune tellers or even computer algorithms—people think we can know it. Yet are they really going to find answers in a palm reader? The good news is that the Bible provides us with answers, and it reveals that we can be hopeful about the future! Knowing Tomorrow Today is a riveting account which outlines a most amazing prophecy from the Bible, which points to our day, and predicts that the next global superpower will be one that will last forever. It is a love story of a God who so deeply cares for us, that He risked it all by coming down into the messiness and brokenness of our human reality in order to save us from ourselves and the forces of darkness. In Knowing Tomorrow Today, we are given a glimpse of the world tomorrow, a world in which good has forever triumphed over evil. The future will see heaven on earth, a blissful existence in which redeemed humanity forever enjoys endearing encounters with their Creator. Global warming. Pandemics. Heatwaves. Droughts. Terrorism. Wars. Famine. Yes, but there's also this promise as well: "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4). That's knowing tomorrow today.

"In Knowing Tomorrow, well known futures researchers from around the world [e.g., Italy, the U.K., the U.S.A, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and Australia) discuss how the future is being dealt with in different sciences. They describe how scientists have incorporated the future in their theories, thereby often taking a historical perspective. The findings of this book can offer strong support to the scientific foundations of futures research and thus improve futures research as a scientific discipline."--BOOK JACKET.
