Abstract
For the second time in our generation we are witnessing the unfolding of a great scientific evolution which, in the scope of its boundless aspirations, infinite promises, and challenge-ridden perspectives, represents a panoramic phase with hardly a parallel in our history.
“Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland: Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island: Who rules the World-Island commands the World.”
Sir Halford J. Mackinder
“He who controls the Cosmic Space, Rules not only the Earth But the whole Universe.”
Stephen Gorove
