LaRouche: Mars is the Shared Mission for All Mankind

With the space age upon us, it's now time to consider "what is good for humanity?" "what will advance our species, all of us?" instead of just "what is good for my country?" or "how can we take the lead?" This is Lyndon LaRouche's approach to statecraft. He's always asked, "what is unique about the human species, and how to do we bring out the best in each culture to advance our common aims?" In this 2009 webcast excerpt, LaRouche discusses practical answers to that question, in terms of policy and economics, and also the philosophical aspects of this idea.
