Prediction from MISSION EARTH comes true!

In the 10 Volume Series, entitled Mission Earth by L. Ron Hubbard, the hero, Jettero Heller, explores new energy sources for vehicles to solve the problem of pollution on planet Earth. This is coming to fruition!

Recently, Diego Martinez from Adams State College, wrote in with these lines:

Dear Mr. Hubbard,
I will receive my Chemistry/Secondary Ed degree on May 5th 2007 from Adams State College. I couldn't have done it without you and Jettero Heller! It takes a lot of interest to get through college. Getting to see the big picture through your book, Mission Earth, helps keeps one's eye on the mountain. I live in Colorado, the backdrop for Battlefield Earth. Some days it's hard to go to class and one gets tired of the wackiness of taking Teacher Ed classes. I sit in the classes and listen to some teachers profess how students need to be drugged and behaviourism!

I thank you for my great friends Jettero Heller and Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. With them around, I am able to keep from going psychlo!

I have plans for a Cadillac coupe de elegance hydrogen car, just like Heller's. If I get it running, I will send pictures and a video. I want to make sure it's up and running before I put that cherry paint job on.

Enclosed is a report I did on the National Hydrogen Association conference in Long Beach California. I thought you might enjoy it. It is part of my professional portfolio for the Teacher Ed program. I thank you with all my heart for your work you have given mankind. I intend to study all of your works because I know I am a better person for every sentence I read of yours.

I will use your work for the rest of my career as a science teacher and for the rest of my life.

Sincerely,
Diego Martinez

The NHA Annual Hydrogen Conference March 12-16, Long Beach, California
by Diego Martinez

From the Introduction of Battlefield Earth:
"Science fiction does not come after the fact of a scientific discovery or development. It is the herald of possibility. It is the plea that someone should work on the future. Yet it is not prophecy. It is the dream that precedes the dawn when the inventor or scientist awakens and goes to his books or his lab saying, "I wonder whether I could make that dream come true in the world of real science." L. Ron Hubbard

On Monday, March 13th, 2006, I had the opportunity to test drive several million-dollar prototype hydrogen vehicles, including an Audi, Toyota, Honda and Chevy. The test drives were unlike any other. I actually got to drive the vehicles through the city of Long Beach. These vehicles are zero emissions, the ultimate in green machines. They run on Hydrogen. I got to actually fill up the vehicle. I couldn't fill this vehicle at any old gas station. Luckily they brought in a hydrogen tanker.

A hydrogen economy has been in my mind since my brother first told me about a book entitled "Mission Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard. In the story, the hero, Jettero Heller, takes on the banking/oil elites to bring a Hydrogen engine on the market. It is an amazing thing to see former science fiction change to science fact in front of your eyes!

Jules Verne - "Nothing to fear... yes, my friends, I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light... I believe then that when the deposits of coal are exhausted, we shall heat and warm ourselves with water. Water will be the coal of the future."
1874

I got to witness the beginnings of a dream fulfilled over one hundred and thirty years in the making. This was an experience that I will definitely bring to the classroom. And so with global warming becoming more real to the masses every day I hear that plea from the science fiction writers, "Something has to be done about our future".

After returning from the National Hydrogen Conference, I completed my senior research project entitled, "Our Hydrogen Fuel Cell Future". Since then I have lectured to over one thousand teachers and students on Hydrogen. Next semester I will student teach at Sargent High School and graduate on May 5th 2007. I am the first in my family to graduate college with a science degree. I can guarantee that this would not be happening if I hadn't read a book entitled Mission Earth. Science fiction writers have inspired many great scientists throughout the ages. I hope to inspire my students as well.
