This book examines the monetary and financial foundations for actively pursuing outer space exploration, development, and settlement. It offers the keys to unlocking the massive investment programs needed to invent, manufacture, deploy, and maintain the new habitats of the future. The book discusses what is currently holding us back and how we can transcend our limitations. It addresses the shortcomings of our financial value framework, financial mathematics, and monetary architecture and introduces the key transformations necessary to unleash our spatial potential. An unprecedented discussion at the intersection of finance and outer space, it is a must-read for policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, bankers, and investors.
