Material Causality and Extra-Terrestrial Travel

A paradox of Aristotle's system is that in it, the Geometric Center is the Earth, but the Causal Center is located at the Geometric Circumference, i. e. its Telos, the Unmoved Mover.  Accordingly, the primary ambition of his Ethics is to make explicit that orientation in Human behavior, i. e. via the cultivation of the divine component of the Human Psyche, its Rationality.  Now, Modern Heliocentrism may destroy that Teleology, but not necessarily the Earth-to-Heaven Causality that Aristotle detects as a Human Psychological principle.  For, as subsequent history has shown, extra-terrestrial travel has been one, if not the primary, consequence of that Heliocentrism.  But, the Causality that best explains that drive is the inverse of Teleological Causality, the pattern of which is an emanation away from the the Earth, rather than towards the sky--Material Causality, as defined here, not as defined by Aristotle.  So, his Psychological insight is compromised by a shortcoming of his Physics, i. e. he correctly detects the heavens-ward orientation of Human behavior, but can interpret it it only Teleologically.
