Mining the Moon | Gary Lai (US) | FPY25

Описание: 🌕 Mining the Moon: The $20 Million Resource That Will Power Earth

We are standing on the edge of the 4th Major Technological Revolution: Space Resources. In this visionary talk, Gary Lai, renowned aerospace engineer, New Shepard designer, and astronaut, unveils the plan to harvest the Moon's vast resources to save Earth.

Gary introduces his new company, Interlune, and their mission to mine Helium-3—a substance rare on Earth but abundant on the Moon, essential for quantum computing and fusion energy.

Discover how we are moving from a world of scarcity to a solar system of abundance.

🔑 Key Highlights:
• The 4th Revolution: Moving beyond the Agricultural, Industrial, and Digital revolutions to the Space Resource revolution.
• The Reuseability Era: How SpaceX and Blue Origin lowered launch costs to open the door for the lunar economy.
• The "Eighth Continent": Why the Moon is the perfect industrial outpost for Earth.
• Helium-3 Explained: A resource worth ~$20 Million/kg that powers quantum computers and could solve clean energy.
• The Mining Tech: How autonomous "Harvesters" will extract gas from lunar soil without digging deep mines.
