In the absence of much real-world progress, there is an inclination to plan for when there might be progress in the future.

Which aspects of exploration and development should be highlighted? How might they connect? What can help enable what else? Where are the synergies?<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>The Integrated Space Plan (ISP) was created in the 1980s as a wall-sized poster that ended up in universities and aerospace offices across the country and around the world. Its voluminous content encouraged exploration of how different goals could be achieved, almost like the technology tree structure of many civilization-type video games. It also encouraged many systems engineers, who thrive on complexity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Now it&#8217;s time to revisit the Integrated Space Plan for a new generation of future space explorers, and update it for the new companies, new technologies, and new ideas in regards to things like the cislunar economy, interplanetary superhighways, and relevant resources.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I expect that our\u00a0crowd crafted space future will be quite different than what a\u00a0crowd-funded space plan could ever predict.
