Introduction to the Cosmic Stones Project

 

Will humanity's future be a "Space Age" or a "Stone Age"?

The human species has reached a pivotal point in its evolutionary history and it appears that the moment has arrived for it to make a critical choice about its future on Earth and, consequently,  about its future in the cosmos.   This decision could be called the "Cosmic Choice" which conceivably is a choice that all potential spacefaring civilizations must  confront at the appropriate moment in their particular history.   The Cosmic Stones space art project  embodies this decision in a physical and conceptual art work that literally and artistically combines the microcosmos with the macrocosmos, one that utilizes the terrestrial and extra-terrestrial forces of nature in its both concept and realization and one that  connects our species' history on Earth with its future destiny in space. The project - to send Cosmic Stones into space - is designed to  proceed in various stages of development  including realizations in micro-gravity environments,  on space habitats and,  ultimately,  on the surfaces of other celestial bodies or in the expanse of interplanetary space.
