This is an urgent message for the next president (Barack Obama) from the National Space Society:

We can use a Space Solar Power initiative to show that Senator Obama is a visionary while John McCain is just 4 more years of broken promises.
"When it comes to energy, it's time to drill up, not down." I agree we should "drill baby drill!" but not in the way McCain clumsily proposes.
I am currently in graduate school to become an aerospace engineer because space is how we will create jobs, maintain our technological edge, and clean up the environment. It is the future.
Thank you for reading!
