Message 28 on blog Our Spaceship Earth from Goodspaceguy:

As an amateur astronomer and as an amateur economist, who is now 70 years old, I, Goodspaceguy, wish to state that one of my many goals (and I hope one of your many goals) is that our Earth, our Spaceship Earth, should become the true homeland of everyone on Earth.

I, Goodspaceguy, hope that Spaceship Earth will become the homeland of the Jewish People. I hope that Spaceship Earth will become the homeland of the Palestinian People. I hope that Spaceship Earth will become the homeland of the American People and the Icelandic People.

As the United States has become the homeland of we Americans, and as we Americans have descended from all the nations of the Earth, and as we Americans have combined 50 different states into our union (with the possibility of adding more,) now it is time to start making Spaceship Earth into the homeland of all the nationalities of Earth.

Blessed be peace on Earth.

Also to create prosperity for the people of Spaceship Earth, I, Goodspaceguy, hope that you will help find pleasant ways of solving the overpopulation problem on Spaceship Earth in order to stop the destruction of the wilderness and the creatures of the wilderness. (Genocide is unpleasant. War is unpleasant. Starvation is unpleasant. Cannibalism is unpleasant.) The head tax is one of the pleasant solutions. The sale of birth permits is another one of the pleasant solutions. Social security is another one of the pleasant solutions. So is education and the building of prosperity.

For a more distant solution, let us think of the International Space Station up in the High Frontier, where solar power is abundant and waiting for us. Soon we will begin the colonization of Earth's orbital space. We should, in reality, learn how to colonize nearby orbital space before we send humans to live in Mars orbit or on the moons of Mars or Mars itself. Earth orbit is near. Mars is far away.
Using knowledge, let us move upward and also solve the overpopulation problem down here on Spaceship Earth.
