Salvation Means Change

Salvation Means Change

Salvation means change and most people fear change more than anything else. To save ourselves we must engage in genetic research. Only by developing new forms of life, creating creatures that can eat up pollutants and may be convert them into harmless biodegradable waste matter, can we hope to cleanse the Cloud quickly enough to avert our own destruction.

We have to save our civilisation. That is way we need a research laboratory in space and that is why the UN appointed Norma Schmidt as commander. Hers background in botanical genetics is impressive. There is no one more highly regarded in the field. There was never a question that a ship designed to collect and analyse exotic biological specimens should have her on board.

No national government would do it, and no single corporation could afford to risk the necessary investment capital. That is why the space-station had to be multinational effort by the multinational corporations.

To save the world. To keep the human race from going the way of the dinosaurs.

(From The Rain, the famous SF novel by Elena and George)
