"The question to ask is whether the risk of traveling to space is worth the benefit. The answer is an unequivocal yes, but not only for the reasons that are usually touted by the space community: the need to explore, the scientific return, and the possibility of commercial profit. The most compelling reason, a very long-term one, is the necessity of using space to protect Earth and guarantee the survival of humanity." William E. Burrows The Wall Street Journal, Feb. 3, 2003 [full story] |
Welcome
The Alliance to Rescue Civilization (ARC) was first conceived by Robert Shapiro in his book Planetary Dreams: The Quest to Discover Life Beyond Earth (Wiley 1999). Shapiro's close colleague at New York University, William E. Burrows immediately saw the wisdom of ARC and became the leading proponent of the idea.This website was designed to allow those who share Shapiro's and Burrows' vision to exchange information and ideas that will advance this important mission.

 | The Survival Imperative: Using Space to Protect Earth, William E. Burrow's latest book is a comprehensive study of ways in which space can be used to protect the planet, from asteroid detection to home-grown dangers like WMD proliferation, pollution, and resource management. It calls for settling people off planet in stations and on the Moon and of establishing ARC's continuously updated archive. |

"We're all here. We're all here to go. We're all here to go off... Into space. That's what we're here for and that's where we're going to go. Into space. But what are you and you and you and you and you here for?"

If the agenda is for COMMERCIAL PROFIT, I rather die with the Mother Earth even though I have been chosen from the survival lottery because you people still think of PROFIT during the last breath of the humanity. If this is the case, you guys will only bring the humanity problems from one planet to another.
We should take this opportunity to start a new human civilization that rooted from spiritual moral, ethic, love, and compassion but not the duality-base, evil monetary system that provokes separation! The 2012 phenomenon is not for you people to increase profit and enhance duality but to advance to the Age of Aquarius that full of cosmic love and wisdom! IF YOU TAKE THIS 2012 AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE PROFIT, IT MEANS YOU STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S THE MEANING AND VALUE OF "LIFE"! IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF LIFE, WHAT'S THE POINT FOR YOU TO SAFELY LEAVE THIS PATHETIC PLANET AND KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE AS A ZOMBIE??!!!!
