Flourishing for All. How the Outer Space Treaty Can Deliver What Planets Never Could
Charles Tandy
Flourishing for All argues that humanity stands at a civilizational crossroads. Drawing on Gerard K. O'Neill's vision of free-floating space habitats ("Green-place In Free-space" communities), the book demonstrates that genuine abundance - unlimited energy, materials, and living space - is technologically achievable beyond Earth. However, abundance alone guarantees nothing; without conscious institutional design, space development risks replicating terrestrial patterns of exploitation and conflict. The book proposes building on the 1967 Outer Space Treaty by extending its weapons ban, establishing resource-sharing frameworks, and creating a robust international agency. This work is ultimately an invitation to shape space governance now, during this critical "pristine moment," before militarization and corporate capture foreclose humanity's best future.
