Bold moves, friends.

Sorry, but the Moon will be industrialized. We will mine it. We will establish bases, manufacturing, and scientific outposts on it.

This is inevitable.

there's literally no way for companies to compete with tesla and its autonomous fleet

what are they going to do?
build self driving cars AND a SpaceX competitor?
lmao

Asteroid mining is not only going to make a lot more trillionaires, it's going to make us all rich.

Just like the Industrial Revolution, the Space Revolution will greatly increase standards of living across humanity... yours, mine, everyone's.

Electric light and indoor plumbing were once luxuries. Now they are so universal that we can have them and still think of ourselves as poor. But preindustrial folk would have thought us wealthy beyond measure. What's coming is another paradigm shift.

You may think this is all theoretical.

You may think asteroid mining is an unproven concept. You're wrong. Because you don't know one critical fact.

We're already asteroid mining.

And we've been doing it since the Bronze Age.

All gold we mine on earth, all the copper for wires, the uranium for reactors, all the iron for nails, everything made of heavy metals that you own, or use, or have ever seen... it's all mined from ancient asteroid strikes.

All the native Earth metals sunk to the core when the whole planet was molten. Past our reach.

Do you think there are precious metals, like gold and silver and platinum? Do you think that even common metals, like iron and tin and copper, cost a lot to extract and refine?

Artificial scarcity.

Every piece of metal you have ever seen was sourced from the tiny percentage of asteroids that once hit Earth.

Leave the gravity well, learn to sail the void, and we can loot all the asteroids that haven't.

Imagine that we built all of civilization picking up our raw materials, grain by grain, with tweezers.

Asteroid mining, true asteroid mining, is a shovel. And no, not a hand tool shovel, I mean the shovel attachment on the front of an industrial digger.

That's why SpaceX has trillion dollar plus valuation. And unless we screw things up on Earth, and sabotage them somehow, that valuation is way too low.

Below here, you'll see a different part of the plan. A little company, running out of a little industrial space in the San Fernando Valley, is building humanity the ultimate shopping bag.

They think Mars is a sideshow, you see.

They want to bag up asteroids, just scoop the little ones right up with a great big robot butterfly net, and bring back to high Earth orbit.

Strip them down there, and build.

If you thought data centers in space are wild, wait until you see factories in space. Wait until everything from toasters to CPUs to machine tools are made in high orbit, or on the moon, and the only bits that ever make it to Earth on the finished products.

In space, minerals are cheap. And power is free. And it doesn't cost much of anything to move goods down a gravity well.

You have no idea what's coming.

Neither does SpaceX or Transastra, for that matter. They've got a hold of the tail of the elephant, and they think the Space Revolution is a rope.

I'm a science fiction author. My job is to see the whole elephant.

It's a big fucking elephant.

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen

[Yikes is my catchphrase @big_yyikes]

DON’T BE AVERAGE

• Go to the gym 12x a day
• eat 2,000 grams of protein by noon
• carry your car to the gym, don’t drive
• sleep in a plank
• never take a rest day, you’re wasting time
• don’t drink water, it has no protein
• eat your meals in a wall sit

I don’t care how great the chemistry is.

It doesn’t matter how rich they are. Or attractive. Or interesting. Or intelligent.

If they’re chronically unhappy, it’s going to be a painful life.

The most miserable fucking people I have ever met

Are all on their endless "healing journey" going through their "trauma" and "doing the real internal work"

[There is only one global empire 🔻 @tvnkth]

One of my harshest realization post2020 is that many Westerners are actually pro-imperialism and not just ignorant to how the system works but prefer ignorance to feign innocence to empire’s crimes. Deep down their only issue w Trump is that he’s ruining imperialism for them.
