Adventure « . . preparing a passage for tomorrow ' s settlers When the vvostcrn pioneer was discontented or feeling ad enturous he mo ed westward. Amer- ica can no longer mo e farther West, so Americans must leave behind the security of the developed lands of the Earth and set forth into the unsettled areas of space and other planets. Before a great expansion program can be en- acted, many problems must be solved. Man pos- sesses an instinct of power and aggression which must be handcuffed. The mind has many un- answered questions that need to be probed. Hu- man beings find it hard to live on earth in con- stant fear of aggression. To take this fear to other planets might prove disastrous. A need exists for a planet that can sustain life. The Theory of Population states that by the year 2,0U0 the earth will not be able to accommodate, physically or economically, the masses then alive. The pioneer scouts explored ahead of the set- tlers to be sure of a .safe journey. Astronauts, with their capsule maneuvers, walks in space and in- formative data, are preparing a safe passage for the settlers of tomorrow.
