With all the complexities of the modern world, humanity is preparing for a new cosmic leap. The main issue of world cosmonautics is not only flight, but also the primary arrangement of a person on the Moon, the creation of lunar bases. The drama and difficulties of today can only slow down this process, but will not stop it or cancel it.
First, this is already enshrined in the plans of China, the United States, United Europe, and Russia as the next task for astronautics. Moreover, this club is prone to expansion. Secondly, the reason for the planned flights is not only, and not so much ordinary and professional curiosity, although this is very significant. There are much more serious reasons for flying.
Let's say, strategically, the Earth's satellite is the primary extraterrestrial territory for the continuation of the natural expansion of mankind. Without such expansion, even by virtue of the law of increasing needs, we will simply eat up and destroy our planet. We simply do not have enough resources, as well as the ability of the nature of the planet to recover after "communication" with us.
Alas, the introduction of new technologies will not remove this contradiction. It is simply pushed out to a new level. Let's say there was a time when Londoners were afraid that horse manure would fill the city up to the rooftops. This, fortunately, did not happen thanks to the advent of the automobile. But today we understand that a car is a means of saving manure, but not at all saving nature. Moreover, with this "magic wand", the conversation about the impact on nature should now be conducted not on an urban, but on a global scale!
By virtue of our very being, which obliges us to interact with the nature of the Earth in an active way, the strategic prospects of mankind can be associated only with space expansion!
Space expansion is also important for its humanitarian consequences. Expansion is an inspiring movement forward. Remember the spiritual uplift of the beginning of the space age! Until a new breakthrough of this level has taken place, modern culture has to bored with the already repeatedly worked out set of basic ideas and impressions. Hence the popularity of remakes and radical interpretations of what is already known. Meanwhile, the expectations associated with astronautics are not limited to what has already been said.
Space is interesting not only for its tangible pragmatics. It is also important for another, in our time is still a rather exotic opportunity - the chance to meet alien intelligent beings. At the same time, science and cosmonautics should not forget that such a meeting can or could occur not only in space. For example, it could be realized in the form of paleocontact (visits to the Earth by aliens).
In recent times, this topic was formulated and supported by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Matest Agrest, who published in 1960 the article "Traces lead to space?" It was, for example, about the giant blocks at the base of the temple complex in Baalbek (Lebanon). Ancient builders contrived to prepare, deliver and put in place blocks of hundreds of tons! How is this possible and why did they face such a task at all? The usual historical approaches do not provide a convincing explanation on this score. So it is quite acceptable to assume that the ancient builders could be helped, for example, by intelligent beings who arrived. It is understandable, possessing both relevant knowledge and powerful technologies. Otherwise, they simply would not have made it to Earth.

In my opinion, science should reflect and search in this vein. Therefore, I propose to take a look, for example, at the photo of the breast ornament of Pharaoh Tutankhamun ("Tutankhamun's pectoral"). By some miracle, it remains in the shadow of cosmists' attention, but it looks like an extremely interesting cultural monument.
It seems natural to think that the pharaoh's jewelry should emphasize his divine nature and connection with the gods. In this sense, the pectoral is made as if it were just a detailed story about the connection of the pharaoh with the inhabitants of heaven (see photo of the necklace). In the framework of the cosmized experience of modern man, the content of the pectoral, it seems to me, can be interpreted in a hypothetical way, for example, as follows.
It looks like there are three horizontal levels on the necklace, the extreme ones being the Earth (clearly not represented) and the Moon (indicated by the crescent). Between them is the sign of the scarab beetle. I think the scarab in this case expresses two meanings: "flying" and "massive", but in general it means "shuttle" on the route "Earth-Moon".
Below the Moon on the necklace, according to the existing belief, there is a "heavenly boat" and even with an "All-seeing eye". In the old days it was believed that this is a sacred eye that observes everything that happens on Earth. Today it is easy to imagine that this could be an alien observation system located in an orbital station.
Finally, higher in the pectoral, we see a crescent moon clearly with some creatures, on which, by the way, we seem to be very similar. These are hardly people - there would be at least some legends about this, but they are not.
Accordingly, we can conclude: judging by the "pectoral of Tutankhamun", in our distant past, paleocontact seems to have occurred. It can also be assumed that in the distant past, aliens not only visited our planet, but also had their own orbital station at that time, as well as some kind of base on the Moon. And, probably, this could not but affect the history of mankind.
It seems that future astronauts on the moon have a chance to discover some traces of the presence of distant alien predecessors, and maybe a message from them.
Of course, one must understand that we are talking about a very bold, but very conjectural interpretation of the contents of the necklace. Therefore, at this stage, other interpretations of the content of the pectoral may well be developed. But, I think, people who are related to the development of astronautics should reflect on exactly what was said above.
