SUMMARY:WORKSHOP 1 RE ADVANCED FINANCING OPTIONS FOR LARGE SCALE SPACE INFRASTRUCTURE & HABITAT PROJECTS (BEI)\, June 23\, 2021\, virtual\, 12:00 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:The Beyond Earth Institute (BEI) is reviewing advanced financing options for large scale space infrastructure and habitats. \nThe first event on June 10 brought together financial experts who “set the tone for this project” by discussing “the complexity of macro scale space investment and the range of possible solutions to spread the investment risk among stakeholders.” \nNow BEI is holding a series of virtual workshops where authors of various financing models will present their ideas to a group of “evaluators” who will provide “their reaction and evaluation based on a set of predetermined criteria.” \nThe first workshop on June 23\, 2021 will examine the “Lunar Development Cooperative” model. \nMore information\, including participants\, is in the emailed announcement\, which is reproduced below and contains a Zoom link. \n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Earth Institute Study:\nA Review of Advanced Financing Options for Large Scale Space Infrastructure and Habitat Projects\nWorkshop I: Lunar Development Cooperative\nPresenter: Michael Castle-Miller\, Esq.\, CEO\, Politas Consulting\nWednesday\, June 23\, 12:00pm – 1:30pm EDT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Evaluators: \nJeff Matthews\, Deloitte \nHoyt Davidson\, Near Earth LLC \nMeagan Crawford\, Space Fund \nSidney Nakahoda\, Seldor Capital \nGary Calnan\, Cislunar Industries \nStaff Monitor: Jonathan Thorvilson \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpace is hard and expensive. The cost of the International Space Station has passed $150 Billion. Returning to the moon under NASA’s Artemis program will exceed $30 Billion to land the first crew on the surface for the first time in 50 years. Yet the vision for space exploration and development far exceeds these modest endeavors. Accessing the vast resources of space that supports a growing off-world population will require the kind of initial investment that far exceeds the means of any government and private entity. NASA has made strides in the past decades on sharing costs with the private sector\, and this trend certainly needs to continue. But the basic public/private partnerships may not be enough to fulfill the vision of establishing new branches of civilizations beyond Earth. \nTo examine the topic more thoroughly\, Beyond Earth is initiating a review of advanced financing models to fund large scale space infrastructure and habitat projects. Beyond Earth has invited the authors of several well-considered advanced financing models to subject their work to a panel of experts for their reaction and evaluation based on a set of predetermined criteria. \nBeyond Earth kicked off this initiative on June 10th with a virtual event featuring financial experts who will help to set the tone for this project. They discussed the complexity of macro scale space investment and the range of possible solutions to spread the investment risk among stakeholders. A recording of the event can be found here. \nA final report will be prepared based on the discussion and evaluations of the virtual kick-off event and workshops.
