Scaling life sustainably by unlocking space mobility 

Humanity’s population has grown at an extraordinary pace, pushing us closer to — and potentially beyond — the Earth’s environmental carrying capacity: the maximum number of people our planet can support without causing lasting harm to the environment. 

As we continue to scale our civilization, we face a pressing question: how do we do so without compromising the health of our planet? Addressing this challenge requires innovation in multiple areas. We must develop sustainable solutions for clean energy, water access, resource extraction, waste management, atmospheric stability, and more. A holistic, multipronged approach is essential — and a thriving, sustainable space economy must be a key part of that strategy. Achieving this will depend on routine, low-cost access to a wide range of orbits — designed from the start to be both scalable and environmentally sustainable.
