Space the next industry

This post maybe could have gone to www.concepte-3.blogspot.com,.

The space program is becoming a corporate run business.  Instead of putting man on Mars maybe we should start with a lunar outpost.  An industrial out post used to produce things like super conductive materials that may be grown as opposed to built.  It is a thought.  What about extraction of ores?  This could be done but today I am not open to celestial models of planetary spin and gravitational interactions.  Fortunately other people are.  The question then becomes how much can we take before causing problems.  I like the idea of

capturing asteroids.  If we can pull this off then building a transcontinental Mag-Lev train here in the US would be easy and cost effective.  The cool thing is that newer materials have been found that go into a super conductive state at higher temperatures than ever before.  Here is the next view. If humanity were to expand to the stars then we would need to start with an industrial base on the moon.  Here we can train people heading out to space.  At this time though I am inclined to believe that ET will make themselves known to us.  Probably part of some federation of inhabited planets.  Now if their is no other life but humanity that can make it to the stars.  Then I would see it as our duty to colonize other planets.  

When I think of manufacturing on the moon, I think of metamaterials being developed that can absorb a great amount radioactive spectrum and use these energies to power our space going craft.  I can see it happening with Virgin space and other companies ferrying humans from Earth to the Moon to work and live on lunar outpost. The thing what I am talking about is being pursued now today here on Planet Earth.  Later I'll have a new post for concepte-3's blogspot.  I think it time to engineer a planetary drive system that works. Basically an interstellar spacecraft that works for the long term.
