 and founded the Living Universe Foundation, which was designed to make plans for stellar exploration over the next 1,000 years.

In his book are futurist inspirational quotes such as this:

"Teetering here on the fulcrum of destiny stands our own
bemused species. The future of the universe hinges on what
we do next. If we take up the sacred fire, and stride forth
into space as the torchbearers of Life, this universe will
be aborning. If we carry the green fire-brand from star
to star, and ignite around each a conflagration of vitality,
we can trigger a Universal metamorphosis. Because of us,
the barren dusts of a million billion worlds will coil up into
the pulsing magic forms of animate matter. Because of us,
landscapes of radiation blasted waste, will be miraculously
transmuted: Slag will become soil, grass will sprout, flowers
will bloom, and forests will spring up in once sterile places.
Ice, hard as iron, will melt and trickle into pools where starfish,
anemones, and seashells dwell — a whole frozen universe will
thaw and transmogrify, from howling desolation to blossoming
paradise. Dust into Life; the very alchemy of God"
