We kids that were born in the early part of the 21st century will be the first generation in human history to legitimately have the choice of living on planet Earth or somewhere else. We are going to become adults in about ten years, and by that time routine space travel to colonies on other celestial beings will be in full swing.

First we will see carefully-selected groups of civilians going to space by the dozens, and then by the hundreds. But eventually going off-planet to live, work or play is going to become an everyday occurrence available to the masses!

We are the "Leaper" Generation!

When Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the Moon for the first time he called it "one giant leap for mankind". That same leap has only been taken a handful of times since, and only by highly-trained astronauts. But soon we will see that same leap being taken by everyday people.

We "Leapers" are going to have to do a lot of the early work to make that a reality. Chances are strong that our age group will be called upon to do the jobs our parents can't do, much like we see in the military. Our strong and resilient bodies and minds (and our longer life expectancies) will make us the most highly-desirable people for the job.

So get ready to take your own personal "giant leap" and join me in learning about mankind's journey to leave planet Earth and become a multiplanetary species!
