The Costa Report
Listen to The Costa Report, an in-depth news podcast by our Rebecca D. Costa at https://www.thecostareport.com
The first episode is co-hosted with Washington DC advisor on space
flight to the House, Senate, and White House, Paul Stimers, titled The
Human Conquest of Space. You can also listen for free to some of the
show at https://lifeboat.com/audio/the.human.co...pace.mp3
The Costa Report begins where 3-minute news reporting ends. It’s for
listeners who abhor over-simplification, sound-bites, and headline-deep
knowledge; who prefer hearing from qualified experts rather than
agendized personalities; who long for respectful, informed, rational
debate that examines all reasonable perspectives; who want to trust the
media again.
Goodnight Moon Base
Among the many transformational initiatives that align with the Lifeboat
Foundation mission to safeguard humanity, several of them aim to
establish a viable civilization of humanity beyond Earth.
Establishing a passionate vision for this future in children is the goal
of our Advisory Board member, Brett Hoffstadt. An established children’s
book author and former aerospace engineer, he is in the process of
publishing a forward-looking sequel to the popular classic Goodnight
Moon. His book is called “Goodnight Moon Base”.
“Goodnight Moon Base” will embrace children’s love of human space
exploration, transporting them onto a moon base for bedtime each night. By immersing them in this captivating world through vivid illustrations
and enchanting rhymes, a future with this moon base will be so
compelling and attractive that it will have to manifest itself into
physical reality.

Let’s Lift the Earth!
Read Special Report “Let’s Lift the Earth!” at
https://lifeboat.com/ex/lets.lift.the.earth by our David Brin.
Within one or two hundred million years, as our Sun gets hotter, the
inner edge of our sun’s Continuously Habitable Goldilocks Zone (CHZ)
will move past where our planet orbits, causing the Earth to overheat. Perhaps we should lift the Earth’s orbit to solve this.
Techcast/Cognis Strategic Forum Update
Lifeboat Foundation is sponsoring the TechCast/Cognis Strategic Forum
which is a free virtual conference that brings together prominent
thought leaders to collectively provide strategic solutions to the
transformative changes of our time.
It was held virtually on June 30 and will also be held July 28, 1 pm
PDT. Our Jessica Garretson, Jerry Glenn, Ted Gordon, Bill Halal, Steven
Hausman, John Lewis, and Paul Saffo will be speaking.
An Executive Workshop held 30 minutes after the conference helps
leaders, planners, and other professionals develop a more powerful
strategic posture to master these challenges of a changing world.
