Going to the Moon is very important for the future of humanity.  The promise of peace as the natural state of being beckons where beyond the earth where our lineages have had such a long record of development.  What had been difficult centuries and millennia before were overcome in many ways so that peace is possible.  Peace is not only the beginning but the goal.  To be together without lamely thinking ourselves as like unthinking beings out for gains lasting a moment or two - we are beings that dream and plan and work in cooperation to realize the worthwhile realities.  The idea that the moon is a new beginning is the idea that we can start anew.  It is the new frontier in the sense that the Americas has been the new world.  The land of opportunity and dreams, the society of peace and order.  

The sight of the bright white moon in its phase strikes me with a profound sense of contentment and reassurance.  The presence of the first and immediate celestial body.  A place we haven’t been, a place we will soon go.  Everything is possible.  The way there will be made.  That this one here is possible makes the rest across the incomprehensibility in vastness also there and teeming with the possibility of real existence.  To make this first step, the importance cannot be overstated.  Just as venturing from the stasis of tradition to a realm of pure potential was the foundation in human action that allow the dream of the ideals and values defining societies today in the Americas.  What is freedom?  What is hard work?  What is making?  The move to the moon will not be merely a duplication of circumstances and choices.  Just the same, the endeavors into space will bring those to new heights of human experience.  What these realities could be we will never discover should we not venture beyond this home of a vibrant and lush garden. 

Carl Sagan wrote that we are upon the cosmic shore gazing into the deep oceans of space.  The grand stage of unknown proportions from these sittings of such modest proportion.  The amphitheater the presents an infinite count of drama depicting all that could be possible beyond the reach of any or all of our imagination.  What presence, what meaning could be discovered and made that I am this one, here, this small subjectivity, that exists within what is all and could contemplate my own existence within all that is and changes.  From the moon is a new vantage offering a view into what surrounds us everyday and every moment, which yet eludes us as we travel through the wonderful devices of our own making, under the firmament of the blue sky.

On the valuation of deep development technologies: 

since to step into estimating monetary values of individuals bits is premature, for a variety of reasons, consider taking stock ie accounting and notating for instances composing excesses in development.  These excesses are effectively surpluses at the time and by increments can constitute a stor.  Effectively, for tech which has become obsolete in their ecosystem, much of their informational value is not lost; so for example, for an entire slate of tech utilizing comparable bases, an emulator or even emulator os may help collect and aggregate for review and future use.  

The informational value has to do with the availability of data regarding lineage development and how dev can be qualified retrospectively in new contexts or was qualified at the time, and more importantly, what bits can be found and selected for current utility, adaptations, and knowledge today.

Just one way in which taking stock for a future oriented virtual economy may find beginnings.

 How are our census data from recent years?  We do need to continue to include data on items at different scales beyond the individual's personal statistics, such as the absence or belatedness of conventional amenities or infrastructure common to modern expectations in a locale.

Consider such an item recently published retrospectively:

More data could be accommodated with the use of computers.

Upgrade relevant enquiries may be formed from suitable and well formulated problematics.

Different scales considering townships and smaller, cities, regions, states or provinces, across country could be taken into the formulation of enquiries.

Qualitative accounts are worthwhile

Representative sampling is important in selecting and studying particular locales

Census does not need to be delimited to geographical or even geopolitical sites, but also abstract sites as type of corporations or type of associations

-volunteered statistical surveys of regional capacity: capital, assets, capabilities
