The need to create a new taxonomy that isn't just applying to our own solar system will become so evident and apparent that something will come out of it. I'm sure of it, even if it's not tomorrow.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Solar will outcompete other technologies.
It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.
We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.
Let's find a new way to think about the entire taxonomy of solar system objects, and not clutch to this concept of 'planet,' which, of course, only ever meant, 'Do you move against the background stars, regardless of what you're made of?'
We're going to understand that there is life on other bodies in the solar system.
There are no more new worlds. The unoccupied arable lands of the earth are limited, and will soon be taken.
The time I trust will come, perhaps within the lives of some of us, when the outline of this science will be clearly made out and generally recognised, when its nomenclature will be fixed, and its principles form a part of elementary instruction.
The solar system should be viewed as our backyard, not as some sequence of destinations that we do one at a time.
What we expect to find, certainly in our own solar system, are probably simple single or multiple-cell forms of life. To get to intelligent life takes stability of conditions over huge, long periods of time.
It seems we will continue to have problems with this classification and it may be because it comes under the heading of creation rather than preservation.
