Spaceports & Space Mining - Digital Twin Economics for Spaceports, Space Stations, and Microgravity Mining Infrastructure in the 5th Industrial Revolution

SPEAKERS

George Pullen Adjunct Professor, University of New Hampshire

Samson Williams Economics of Space & Deep Tech, University of New Hampshire

ABOUT THE SESSION

Samson Williams and George Pullen will explore the significance of the Space Economy in the 5th Industrial Revolution, currently valued at $600 billion. They will draw parallels to how oil fueled the advancements of the 4th Industrial Revolution and discuss how "rare earth" minerals mined from asteroids and meteors could fuel the next wave of economic growth. The session will emphasize the role of digital twins, AI, and autonomy in orchestrating complex expeditions aimed at extracting potentially quadrillion-dollar resources in the challenging microgravity environment of space. 

Key Topics: 

• The Space Economy is the 5th Industrial Revolution, currently valued at $600 billion. 
• Just as oil fueled the 4th Industrial Revolution, "rare earth" minerals mined from asteroids and meteors will fuel the economy of the 5th Industrial Revolution. 
• The crucial role of digital twins, AI, and autonomy in launching expeditions to capture quadrillion-dollar resources in microgravity.
