This document discusses the expanding continuum of space technology from the past to the future. It outlines several milestones that may be achieved such as San Antonio becoming the first Moon-Mars city and a person not yet born becoming the first human on Mars. Key enabling technologies are identified for exploration including life support systems and human-ware technologies to support isolated and remote human environments. The document argues for establishing new institutions like a Virtual Space Academy, Space Exploration Policy Institute, and Space/Virtual Technology Forum to advance leadership and expand the continuum of space technology to enable future human exploration of other planets.
