"Space, the final frontier." ~ Opening line from Star Trek

"I could never figure out how the mining and elevator companies were making so much money, and then I subscribed to the Solari Report. I listened to your discussions on the secret space program and the underground bases. Now I know how the mining and elevator companies are making some of their profits. The world makes sense again." ~ European investor speaking with Catherine in 2016

The Space Economy

Wikipedia defines "space industry" and "space-based economy" as follows:

"Space industry refers to economic activities related to manufacturing components that go into Earth's orbit or beyond. Owing to the prominence of the satellite-related activities, some sources use the term satellite industry interchangeably with the term space industry."

"This definition does not exclude certain activities, such as space tourism. Thus, more broadly, the space industry can be described as the companies involved in the space economy and providing goods and services related to space. Space economy has been defined as 'all public and private actors involved in developing and providing space-enabled products and services. It comprises a long value-added chaining, starting with R&D actors and manufacturers of space hardware and ending with the providers of space-enabled products and services to final users."

"The space-based economy is economic activity in outer space, including asteroid mining, space manufacturing, space trade, construction performed in space such as the building of space stations, space burial, and space advertising. Space-based industrial efforts are presently in their infancy. Most such concepts would require a considerable long-term human presence in space and relatively low-cost access to space. The majority of proposals would also require technological or engineering developments in areas such as robotics, solar energy, and life support systems."
