Don’t Look Back

Abstract: Abstract Is there room for human compassion in the rugged space frontier? Consider why an immigrant immigrates. Either life is abhorrent or dangerous where they live so they flee their old home, or the promise of a new life in a new place offers a better life so they take a risk, abandon all that’s familiar, and travel to their new home. The motivation for change is to trade a miserable life for the opportunity of a better life. With no guarantees that the new life in the new place will be any better. In fact, the common thread of immigrants over the years is that they are making the sacrifice for future generations of their family and not for themselves.
