The Impossible Missions Are The Only Ones

The Sea Is The Universal Sewer.

We Have To Prepare For What Life Could Become In 40 Years. We Need To Outline What Is Possible And What Is Impossible With The Non-renewable Resources Of The Earth. What Role Will Technological Improvement Play? Taking All This Into Account, What Kind Of Life Can We Produce In The Best Way For 10 Billion People? That's A Problem That Needs To Be Solved.

However Fragmented The World, However Intense The National Rivalries, It Is An Inexorable Fact That We Become More Interdependent Every Day. I Believe That National Sovereignties Will Shrink In The Face Of Universal Interdependence. The Sea, The Great Unifier, Is Man's Only Hope. Now, As Never Before, The Old Phrase Has A Literal Meaning: We Are All In The Same Boat.

It Is Fashionable Nowadays To Talk About The Endless Riches Of The Sea. The Ocean Is Regarded As A Sort Of Bargain Basement, But I Don't Agree With That Estimate. People Don't Realize That Water In The Liquid State Is Very Rare In The Universe. Away From Earth It Is Usually A Gas. This Moisture Is A Blessed Treasure, And It Is Our Basic Duty, If We Don't Want To Commit Suicide, To Preserve It.

However Fragmented The World, However Intense The National Rivalries, It Is An Inexorable Fact That We Become More Interdependent Every Day.
