The Fundamental Question: Pour quoi aller ailleurs si chez nous c’est mieux?
# Science & Technology are changing our world # Scientific discovery & technology development have a growing potential power # We have developped the technology to survey & utilize the space around the Earth => We are living in a 3D society!
# Benefits are huge: • Global communication (telephone, television…) • Global positioning systems (GPS, GALILEO… ) • Efficient Earth exploration • Improved science • … • # Drivers: • Defence (USA-URSS military race…) • Science • Dreams

The Earth gravitational field is extremely strong The acceleration of the gravity at the Earth surface is: 9.8 m/s2 All the terrestrial phenomena are affected by the gravity:
Why is so difficult to leave the Earth? We are leaving inside a gravitational well! The escape velocity is 11.6 km/s A huge amount of energy is necessary to escape from the Earth! ~ 72 MJ/kg or to lift a ship of 7000 tm 1 m from the ground
Guns are not viable V ~ 2 km/s
