How to Jump-start an Interstellar Civilization
This document outlines a proposal for jump-starting an interstellar civilization. It discusses establishing an identity as cosmic citizens and setting goals such as settling the Milky Way, seeding life, and finding others. Advanced technologies like fusion, starships, and engineered habitats are needed to achieve these goals. A knowledge civilization with pan-solar governance and markets could help organize these efforts. The proposal suggests mobilizing over 1,000 volunteers in epic organizations to energize efforts towards becoming an interstellar civilization within the next 100 years.
