SEEDS Synergizing Earth's Evolutionary Development Spacewards

In nature, the perpetuation and survival of all forms of life are maintained through the process of reproduction. The propagation of a species is the best way for it to survive and thrive in the natural selection process. Viewed from a macro-perspective that includes of all life on Earth, the survival of “LIFE “ itself is also dependent on it reproducing itself in another environment. The environment for Life's survival on Earth is both fragile and endangered. Unexpected cosmic events may also endanger or even terminate its survival chances in the future. The only way for life on Earth to insure its ultimate survival is by it becoming established beyond its home planet. The advent of spaceflight marks the first time in the history of planet Earth that “LIFE “ has developed the means necessary to perpetuate its own survival in the cosmos. That means is the human species with the technological capabilities it has developed. Indeed this may be humanity‘s ultimate purpose as well as its biggest responsibility. The evolutionary idea that space exploration activities would in effect plant both human and other terrestrial life forms beyond Earth has been an acknowledged aspect of humanity‘s astronautical endeavors since its beginnings. In this paper I introduce the SEEDS project, its background and rationale and outline a plan to organize global participation in a project to develop and send SEEDS payloads into the cosmos
