Investment in the space economy is becoming increasingly significant, reflecting a shift akin to historical infrastructure developments like railroads. Key developments include space-based data centers utilizing solar energy and construction technologies for lunar missions. Companies are innovating solutions for extraterrestrial manufacturing, with projects like 3D printing for lunar structures and specialized lunar materials. However, the earth-based logistics sector is encountering challenges, including high warehouse vacancy rates and slowed construction due to trade concerns.
We are in the early days of something that will be some major investments, and we're creating these new rails of the future.
Steinbach compared the moment to the expansion of railroads in the 19th century.
One emerging frontier is space-based data centers that could potentially harness unlimited solar energy and cooling from the vacuum of space.
People are really excited about this vision; it's not every generation you get a whole new continent to unlock.
