    After Earth . . .

    Humanity has spread across the planet, occupying nearly every available niche. How long before a planet-wide catastrophy sends us the way of the dinosaurs?

    If we as a species, and we as Life from Earth are to survive beyond that time, we must move outward and offward, away from the planet of our birth and cradle where we were nurtured.


    Posterra is a proposed organization which would have the purpose of facilitating the transition of humanity and of terrestrial life beyond the Earth and beyond our Solar System.
