This IQP was about the exploration of ancient culture's beliefs and traditions about space, the continued existence of humanity, how humans fare in extra-terrestrial environments, what can be done to improve our survival there, and lastly the commercialization of space. This group suggests that we take our energy search into space, with the mining of Helium-3 from a colony on Mercury and the collection of solar energy via solar panels orbiting around Earth.
