The Trillion Dollar Market: Fuel in Space from Asteroids #FuelSpace Check out our latest video to hear Chris Lewicki talk about the exponential growth potential of the space economy when access to fuels in space from asteroids is made possible by Planetary Resources. Asteroid sourced hydrogen and oxygen will literally and figuratively fuel expansion of the space economy by providing a locally sourced fuel resource that will change how industry operates in space. While existing satellites cannot be refueled directly today, space tugs fueled by asteroids that are currently being developed, will maneuver Geostationary satellites into their assigned orbit. Thus, keeping them operating and generating revenue far beyond their current life expectancy. Water from asteroids can also be used for a plethora of other applications beyond fuels in space. It can be consumed, used as a radiation shield for humans during deep space expeditions to Mars, and aid in many processes tied to mining metals off asteroids. How would you use water in space?
