Humans have successfully evolved on Earth due to a capacity to utilize resources. The Stone, Bronze, Iron, and Steel Age each represent technological, organizational and economic steps forward. In the last century we have entered the ‘Space Age’. Just as each Age has significant improved life on Earth the Space Age will bring numerous benefits to the Earth and to humanity.Discovering, mapping, and eventually utilizing resources in outer space is a crucial developmental step in the Space Age. It will not only assist us in our expansion into space, it is the first step in decreasing our dependence on Earth’s finite resources. Resource utilization in space will create new jobs, catalyze new industries, accelerate innovation and technologies, and enable the world to tap into new resources that will generate wealth, enhance security, and open up new opportunities.https://youtu.be/EUMXpuU6I0A
