That would be nice. I don't see a lot of exploration coming out of highs, though. In fact, I doubt we'll see much space travel until at least the next unraveling - if ever.
With respect to global warming, it's now pretty clear that can and will be solved by shifting from a fossil fuel based economy to a solar based economy, which will indeed involve a lot of infrastructure building. Right now, neither the left nor the right wants that - the left doesn't like what would be the necessary free market development, and the right is too wedded to oil interests - but the Crisis conflict will get us past those minor disagreements. Solving global warming will turn out to be painless once people allow it to be solved.
