\u201cNew Worlds 2015 is an experiment. Our goal is to plant the seeds of a new and dynamic space culture that will begin to grow in the years ahead so those who will build the first human space colonies can be prepared when the ships are ready. It may sound crazy, just as 20 years before the Mayflower going across the ocean to start a new community in that New World sounded crazy. But it will also be incredibly fun.<\/em>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
