Space Travel / Spatial development

The importance of space exploration is vital for mankind. Still to this day, we can not answer the origin of the universe and our role in it. How was the Moon created? How can we understand and reproduce the self-energetic process of the Sun? How can we send our space probes in a swift manner and at minimal costs? How old exactly is the Universe? What is this dark matter that consists 90% of the universe?  Many unanswered questions facing mankind in it’s own environment.

What are the benefits of spatial development?
The asteroids: full of resources
The asteroids – just like sleeping comets – contain enormous quantities of minerals and gases. Mining exploitation of millions of tons of minerals on one aerosiderolite alone is… 20 times more lucrative than on Earth. There is no doubt that mankind will build factories on asteroids by the XXIInd century, mostly on celestial bodies orbiting close to Earth.

Similar to the near mining exploitation on the Moon, the asteroids will in turn, bring solutions to the Earth’s depletion of natural resources. Transformed into gigantic open-sky mines, they offer millions of tons and billions of dollars worth of raw material, many of them being of the iron and platinum groups.

Remote sensing
Another important aspect is the research on fluids and material, i.e. their reaction, growth of crystals and physics in general. Unique conditions in space allow the precise studying of such phenomena – otherwise impossible on Earth due to convection and sedimentation effects. For example, the fact of having no sedimentation allow the mixing of multiple fluid densities and produce harder and more resistant material like ceramics or famous latex layers. In pharmacology research, the absence of gravity eases crystallization of proteins, increases their volume and makes medication more stable. Space technology also allowed public companies to build water repellent surfaces ensuring a better flux flow in the aviation industry, protective clothing for children with immune diseases and quantities of industrial goods such as air filters, latex bearings and much more…

Research in microgravity
The fundamental physics can also benefit from microgravity in a perfect environment for testing Einstein’s theory of relativity and fine tuning sensitive timekeeping devices such as atomic clocks for G.P.S. (Global Positioning System) navigation satellites. Such precision is altered on Earth due to Brownian motion of atoms and gravity.
