Space Frontier Theory

The application of frontier thesis concepts (from American historiography) to space—the idea that space represents a new frontier that will shape human character, institutions, and destiny as frontiers have on Earth. Space Frontier Theory suggests that the challenges of space will breed innovation, democracy, and rugged individualism; that frontier conditions will select for certain traits; that space will be a "safety valve" for terrestrial pressures. Critics note that frontiers on Earth involved displacement, exploitation, and environmental destruction—warnings for space. Frontier theory is influential in space advocacy (especially American) and shapes how we imagine space's role in human future.
Space Frontier Theory "He talks about space as the final frontier, where freedom and opportunity await. That's Space Frontier Theory—the myth of the frontier applied to the cosmos. It's inspiring and dangerous: inspiring because it captures imagination, dangerous because Earth's frontiers weren't kind to everyone. Space can be different, but only if we learn from history."

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
