The book deals with a broad spectrum of psychological issues affecting humans and their interactions in Space. It stimulates our thinking about different ways humankind has visualized the universe and our place within it. As human beings discover more about reality, they continue their ascent into insignificance in the vastness of the universe. The book is split into chapters: human universe, human evolution, human significance, human existence, and humanity today. The universe seems curiously fine-tuned to allow for the emergence of stars, planets, and life. The reader will become aware of the beauty of our planet-Earth, and the miniscule place that it occupies in the seemingly infinite universe. The author hopes that the reader will take away pride at being human in a vast and unfathomable universe. The book describes the human condition, and addresses all the ways that Homo Sapiens relates to one another and to the environment The cumulative effect of generations of unchecked human activity is a real threat to the health of our planet as well as human existence. We humans today drive technological changes, while changing technologies in turn shape us. Our purpose in the world seems unclear, and we have stumbled from century to century without direction or reason. The future of humanity is much too important than to be left to algorithms and intelligent machines.
