Industrial Capabilities in Space Adi Oltean The moon has abundant silicon, aluminum, iron, and titanium, and extracting them there may actually be more efficient than on Earth. We want to see startups developing industrial capabilities in space, from electrolysis of raw materials to 3D printing complex structures from molten regolith.

India’s space quest soars higher. Congratulations to Team ISRO on the successful launch of GSLV-F17/EOS-05, India’s first imaging satellite from Geosynchronous Orbit which will significantly enhance our Earth observation capabilities with advanced imaging across visible, infrared, multi-spectral and hyperspectral bands. This achievement reflects the steady progress India has made in building world-class capabilities in space science and technology, and the purpose and ambition with which our space programme continues to move forward under the leadership of PM Sh Narendra Modi Ji.

Newly-confirmed NASA administrator Jared Isaacman said “we’re just months away from sending American astronauts around the moon for the first time in more than half a century.” “We're going to want to get there, start the development of our lunar base, so I would say that's of pretty great interest,” Isaacman said. “There's an awful lot to learn on the moon, and it’s something we should be working on as we develop our deep space capabilities.” Isaacman spoke to CBS News’ Major Garrett on his plans for putting U.S. astronauts back on the moon and beyond.

Elon Musk on why the Moon might come before Mars: “You don’t necessarily have to go through the Moon to get to Mars. But I think we can build a self-growing city on the Moon faster than we can on Mars” The Moon has major advantages for scaling AI in space: Because it has no atmosphere and only one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, you can use a mass driver (railgun) to literally shoot AI data centers into deep space - no rockets required You can also manufacture solar panels and radiators directly from Moon materials. This could allow scaling to over 1,000 terawatts per year of AI compute - compared to roughly 1 terawatt per year if launching everything from Earth Mars remains the ultimate goal - a whole planet with Earth-like gravity and a thin atmosphere that could one day be warmed up to have oceans and walkable surfaces without spacesuits But the Moon could be the faster stepping stone to build massive infrastructure in space

🚨NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says the U.S. would struggle to maintain space dominance over China without SpaceX. “We can't send astronauts to and from the space station without them. We can't have down mass of our science experiments from the space station without them. The Nancy Grace Roman telescope that's going out to pursue the secrets of the universe was launched on a Falcon Heavy not that long ago.” In 2025, SpaceX delivered more than 80% of the world’s total mass to orbit. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is currently NASA’s only certified American spacecraft routinely carrying astronauts, scientific research, and hardware to and from the ISS. On August 30, SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy launched NASA’s $4 billion-class Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope toward L2, roughly one million miles from Earth. Isaacman: “The United States would be seriously challenged in the high ground of space without their capabilities.” Elon Musk Jared Isaacman The All-In Podcast

ELON MUSK: "The most obvious one is actually solar powered AI satellites, sort of to move the AI to orbit and essentially deep space over time, because there you can actually access over a billion times more energy from the sun in deep space than you can on Earth. The scaling to Kardashev, which is using some non trivial amount of energy from the sun. You kind of have to do space solar power. Like to even use a millionth of a percent of the sun's energy you you really have to be have your solar power in deep space."

We put men on the Moon in 1969 🚀 Yet in 2025, satellites still struggle to talk to Earth because ground stations are too centralized and expensive. That’s why Decen Space is decentralizing ground station access cutting costs, unlocking idle antennas, and opening the space economy to everyone 🌍✨ From orbit to Earth and everyone in between. Would love to see partnerships with National Space Research and Development Agency and Planet in the future 🌐 Superteam Germany

NASA Administrator Details Historic Significance of Today's Artemis II Launch: Promises Boots on the Moon by 2028, Moon Base, Mars... "We are going to send four astronauts farther into space than we’ve ever sent humans before, faster than humans have ever traveled before around the moon and back safely to Earth... We are going back to the moon. We’re picking up where Apollo 17 left off. We’re going back to stay this time. We’re going to build the moon base." "President Trump did not want us to go there to plant the flag and leave the footsteps again. He wanted us to go and stay to build the Moon base to test the capabilities that are going to be necessary so someday when a rocket leaves here at Kennedy Space Center it may be going to Mars" "In 2028— before the end of President Trump‘s term— Artemis IV is going to put American boots back on the surface of the moon"

M+38: One of the experiments we’re conducting on the International Space Station is to expand on current hardware, demonstrating the creation of golden nanospheres under microgravity conditions, which are larger and more uniform than their Earth-bound versions, and have applications in cancer diagnostics and treatment and improved pharmaceuticals. We obtain our samples from the MELFI freezer and grow them into our Industrial Crystallization Cassettes, and will package them for return on Spx-32 for additional analysis.

Apex is The Spacecraft Platform Company. For most of space history, progress was measured in firsts. First satellite. First human in space. First Moon landing. The next era will be measured in rate: how fast you can deploy, replenish, and refresh the infrastructure everything else depends on. That’s the New Space Race. Winning it takes constellations: many satellites working together as systems. And constellations require two industrial capabilities: launch and spacecraft platforms. Launch is ready enough. Platforms are not. Apex exists to remove that bottleneck.

“We gather here on these storied grounds to celebrate the immense courage and service of four intrepid space heroes.” President Trump honors the Artemis II crew at NASA’s Johnson Space Center after their historic journey around the moon, presenting the four astronauts with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. The Artemis II astronauts traveled farther from Earth than any humans before them, marking a major milestone in America’s return to the moon.

Elon Musk on building a self-growing city on the Moon: "You don't necessarily have to go through the moon to get to Mars. We can build a self-growing city on the moon faster than we could do so on Mars, and there's also the potential, if you say you want to scale far beyond what you can do from Earth, is that because the moon has no atmosphere and about 1/6 Earth's gravity, you can use an electromagnetic accelerator, a rail gun or mass driver, basically you don't need to use rockets to do AI data centers into deep space from the moon, you can literally just shoot them like a, like a rail gun type of thing, and and you can manufacture the solar, the solar and the radiators, solar power and radiators on the moon from moon materials that would allow scaling potentially to beyond 1000 terawatts a year, which is a truly staggering number. I think we can do probably do somewhere around one terawatt per year of AI space compute from Earth, but we can do 1000 terawatts or more from the moon."

Jeff Bezos: All the polluting industry can be done off Earth if space travel gets reliable enough and inexpensive enough, and we can get materials from asteroids and near-Earth objects and the Moon. Then this garden planet can be returned to its pre-industrial revolution state. This is the only way in which the world is worse today than it was 500 years ago. Everything is better today. The global illiteracy is better than it was 500 years ago. Infant mortality is better than it was. Global poverty is better than it was. Everything is better today and it keeps getting better and the one exception is the natural world and we can actually have both.
