Night Sky with Stars

A solar system-wide economy

Earth-based technologies still hold much promise, but space remains the Final Frontier, with virtually unlimited energy, resources, and potential. Emerging Futures has worked with federal, state, and local government agencies, nonprofits, academic institutions, and commercial companies to explore promising markets and technologies for both Earth and space. Let’s grow our economy both on- and off-planet while preserving Earth's ecosystems for future generations.

"Caelus certe patet, ibimus illi" — Ovid

(Surely the sky lies open, let us go that way!)
