This is something I have been wanting to hear from you for a while. Actually I remember your story. You told us once before that you are 20. I was always surprised that this 20 year old has great insight. You learn well from failure but get up again. This shows great promise. You joined the ranks of those who dropped out to drop in. Enjoy the time before you get married to explore every opportunity and venture you want to.

You have wonderful long term goals and I can see how your short term goals will help achieve these long term goals.

Poverty
Multi-Planetary Colonization/Space Exploration
Energy
Human Longevity (increasing our life-span and decreasing our likelihood to develop debilitating diseases)

I guess your goal is to alleviate poverty although an ultimate life goal of poverty is very noble to leave this world with nothing. Unnecessary poverty is devastating the human race.

I understand the other endeavors as well. They are very realistic things we have to think about. What's the use of living long and new sources of energy if humans don't change inside?

One endeavor should be to grow in inner character to embrace and forgive others. If this happens on a world wide scale then the others will fall into place.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
