Someone who might be able to get you safely out of atmosphere is a lot musk, the tesla bosses Company Space x. Has already successfully delivered astronauts to the International Space station and getting there isnt even that expensive, at least not compared with the early days of manned space flight. Nasa is Apollo Missions of the 960. 00 s. Cost nearly 330000000. 00 euros a shot of space. X. Round trip cost a mere 43000000. 00. The economic boom in space is our topic today. Here on made the business magazine on t. W. How long before space was recognized as a higher dimension for investors . People saw the universe as a mysterious and often menacing realm. It was the origin of asteroids that frequently blaze across the sky and sometimes even 4 to earth causing huge destruction. Now we know that these celesio chunks of rock are incredibly rich in valuable resource, as that are difficult to mind here on our planet. Forward thinking, entrepreneurs are looking beyond earth because a lot of it out there. Heres chris color on Mining Metals and specs. On the 15th or favorite, it doesnt. 13. An asteroid entered earths atmosphere over russia. All it created a fireball brighter than the sun. In its shockwave, injured more than 1000 people, just like these show why asteroids balls a great threat to life on earth. But theyre also the reason why some see them as a golden opportunity. This clip was watched millions of times on personal computers and smartphones such small and powerful devices, something metals like gold, silver, and platinum. Resources are not just pretty. Theyre among the most conductive and durable and might have all of elements they are hiding. Porton for magazine aerospace, the bathroom and technology. But the painting them is an ugly process. Mining destroys entires, a consistent misplaces communities in crete, stocks waste. And theres a tragic irony. Platinum is used to make solar panels, hydrogen, and wind turbines. The more the wall goes green, the more toxic mining to needs. Our planet is not the only source of the special elements. The key to spearing earth does have a stake in mining may lie in the planets ultimate threat of asteroids. This guy certainly is no longer the Liver Disease crysler weiqi. He was the cofounder in chief asteroid miner off planet. Are you resources the 1st company foreman would be explicit. Goal of mining asteroids . Is he than ever an asteroid named after him. So im very grateful to have 13609. 00, but wiki some of the celestial bodies close to earth. Im credible treasure troves old embarking on our very heavy and over time, the sinking to a private school. Thats why theyre so rare on the arts crossed. But again, because the actress dont have much gravity that didnt happen on asteroids, and in some cases there are 100 times as constant. Which doesnt 15, for example, an asteroid, the best close to our planet. This is the need to have more plotting its ever been mined. The earth takes 16 cycle which walter said to be worth. 700. 00 dio, soft on the ups until now. And these were just your practical because space travel was just too expensive. But thats changing a seat on a space x. Walk at least 3 times cheaper than it was on the Space Shuttle started that you couldnt watch. Chosen and to have larry page, the cofounder of google put his wealth behind planetary resources that youre after. And you company joined the race to mine, our stories. And in 2017, nasa announced he would pay a visit to psyche we want him. Shes in the 18 stone. Shes the one leading site in mission. An important thing to thank you, washington, im wrong. But although the program is not about the asteroid mining, it could lay the groundwork for a more sustainable future. Crazy as he sounds, mining asteroids might not only be feasible, but also much more sustainable demining earth. One which interestingly and just sign is a researcher who has actually crunched the numbers. Actually it turns out the answers seems to be yes. He estimates that there are fewer necessary to go and bring back one kilogram of latino men would release 150 kilograms of c o. 2 into the earths atmosphere. Terrestrial mining generates 40000 kilograms of c, which you saw stored mining, could be hundreds, thousands less polluting. Essentially, the main reason theres almost no other substance you can mine, which generates that much Greenhouse Gas and outsourcing mining to space could decrease pollution on earth. But there is an economic problem in terms of that in terms of economic problem, a problem if you mine, like 5 times of the platinum you have on earth right now, means that the market prices were going crash. You can sell of the much more progress. Which means you are diminishing your profit margin, so your operating your infrastructure, their loss, and that makes a really unattractive for investors. Carbon taxes in new technologies could change this equation. But it would still take several years for space mining to become profitable. Investors decided to not wait for long. The world doesnt quite support a Business Model that takes more than a 100000000. 00 and more than 10 years to, to make a return on that investment and maybe a trip. If you just company feel to tweeze enough funds, forcing you to abandon its call of mining asteroids. We just like in california trash. Space miners do not realize their dream of out of the small 12 planetary resources didnt succeed in their ultimate goal to mine asteroids. But i think it succeeded in a lot of ways the steps to get there. There wasnt much gold in california after all. Yesterday said they are succeeding Something Else in the rush to get to different period, they created the infrastructure that accelerated the development of the west. Today space miners are doing something similar. We are as a world, a lot closer to using resources from space than we were when the company was founded in 2009. You know, you know how to get a degree, but we could make it there. And i think in some ways new inventions can make space money and economical just a few decades ago. The very technology here using to watch these video seemed impossible. Now we can use satellites to be in the internet everywhere on the planet 101520 years. A lot can happen. One day. Mining earth may seem a bit like using candles to heat up your room. Most such galactic Business Prospects will inevitably result in competition between companies and between countries. Who do the many treasures floating around in the universe belong to my colleague noir house has been looking into that question and hes discovered that the matter has been regulated. So its off who owns outer space . You might think its easy. Hop on a rocket land on some celestial body, plant a flag, and its yours. Or rather, the country you work for you think again, when Neil Armstrong planted a u. S. Flag on the moon in 1969, that didnt make it american appropriating land in space is actually banned under international law. Under the outer space treaty of 1967, more than 130 countries have signed the document, it says all countries are free to explore space, but not to appropriate it for themselves. Outer space basically belongs to us all the treaty bans, weapons of mass destruction from space and says its use shall be the province of all mankind. That seems to rule out commercial ventures up there. But the treaty is not comprehensive and has been overtaken by developments. It was born of the cold war between the us and the soviet union. Nowadays, china, india and the European Union are all drooling over the Economic Opportunity space might represent. For now, there are no traffic regulations, there is no obligation to clear up space junk. Theres no International Space authority with Flight Control functions for rockets and satellite launches. Each country goes its own way. The odd entrepreneur just ignores the outer space treaty. Dennis hope of the United States says he found a loophole. And ownership of the moon he sells plots of land up there. 50000 square meters go for just 39. 00 euros 90. You could get a nice certificate staking a claim is another matter. On the internet, you can also buy a house on mars for 890000000 euros. But you cant move in until 2060 real estate, natural resources, Tourism Business opportunities might soon abound. But what if some aliens turn up and say the entire cosmos is there . Well, if there is life out there, you have got to wonder if we should bother getting in touch. The space around our planet is already pretty crowded enough without physics is from another galaxy. Not only is there the junk left over by Human Space Missions past, but its also becoming overrun with satellites over the last few decades. That number has skyrocketed, if youll excuse the pun. And 958, there were 2 satellites in orbit and the year 2000, they were almost 800. But last year we crossed the 2 and a half 1000 mark. The number has been growing exponentially and it looks set to keep going. 3 to why the new era is dawning as commercial enterprises drive advances in Space Technology with ambitious projects. In iran, musk of tesla wants to outdo nasa with his space x. Company, and fly people to no, not the moon, but mars Space Technology and space flight are essential to modern life as electricity from the grid. We couldnt do without them and their key to new and future technologies spoke in the European Union, 10 percent of Economic Activity already depends on satellite navigation. The e. U. Launched its Copernicus Program in 2014. It satellites observe the earth from orbit. Its a publicly funded venture. The data, the satellites send home will enable the development of new applications. For example, software to enhance the fuel efficiency of ships. New jobs will be created. Satellite data can be used to make marketable products. Remote Sensing Solutions is a Company Based in munich that specializes in environmental monitoring. Its not exactly a high margin industry. Copernicus has boosted revenues here, as its data are freely available to all the company uses them to create valuable information. When the dog in the data are free or cheap, the entire process of generating information is cheaper and people are more willing to buy in and we have it so powerful clients include Nature Conservation groups such as w, w, f, and a number of governments. One focus of the companys work is monitoring the impact of land use and Climate Change on vegetation. Satellites can capture images of large swathes of land vegetation in the sun. Hell can be tracked from season to season. The astronauts say they have a very different relationship to earth once theyve been to the i assess that the view from a satellite is a bit similar. We can see how africa is doing or south america. The view from far away enables us to see connections more clearly by that which on the copernicus, satellites are big and heavy. They weigh tons, it takes years to build them and each is unique. Many components 1st have to be specially developed that makes the satellites expensive, hundreds of millions of euros each unlike many satellites, they can be as small as a wine bottle. The advent of small satellites marks a new era. There are a lot cheaper, but still provide important services. Planet labs is an earth Imaging Company in San Francisco that already uses many satellites to photograph the globe. Students throughout europe are learning to build the little devices. One class of small satellite, nano satellites. A team of berlins Technical University devised the project to deploy 4 of them to enable faster transfer of large amounts of data. They were launched 2 years ago. Small satellites have the potential to revolutionize earth monitoring, as well as global telecommunications. To start up, smart small satellite systems does what its name suggests. Its a cube sats can exchange precise information about their orientation so as to point in the desired direction. They cost tens of thousands of euros a piece in your tooth. It is the miniaturization of Electronic Components that enable such developments to lytton satellites may be getting smaller, but that doesnt mean their overall performances are declining. One can deploy a lot of small ones for the price of a big 1. 00. But the company has launched 4 of its cube sat so far, theyre flying in formation to test 3 d. Typologies for scientific measurements. To do that, they have to communicate with each other, negotiate and organize their positioning autonomously. This test is a significant step towards creating intelligent 3 d. Satellite configurations. One application could be mapping the ash emitted in a volcanic eruption that would be of great value to commercial aviation. Small satellites often put together using standard components. So its easy to make a lot of them and also to switch out components depending on the intended use. Space x. Is planning to send 12000 small satellites into orbit as part of its starving project to provide internet to remote locations around the world. Big projects like that, spur the automation of satellite manufacturing. Its comparable to whats happened in the auto industry. In this regard, us companies are far ahead of ones in europe. We in europe shouldnt just give up, but aim to be players in these markets of its where the future lies. The economic and commercial potential is going to be huge. After hes put into the i got at sort analysts say the space industry is set for stellar growth. Revenues in 2018 amounted to 360000000000. 00. Some forecasts say they could reach 2. 00 trillion dollars in 2040. Rocket factory oxburgh wants a piece of the expanding space pie. Its developing a launcher for small satellites, a pretty 2 rocket, specifically designed for that purpose. Until now, small satellites have to hitch a ride if there is room. When big launches such as arianna set off into space, its not very expensive, but the waiting list can be long. But in course launches a big launcher is like a bus, you have to wait to everyone on board. A small launcher is like a taxi it to choose where you want to go more cheaply and efficiently. Thats great for creating a small satellite constellation. About 100 companies are developing many launches. Many will probably fall by the wayside. 3 are based in germany. Rocket factory aims to offer affordable and flexible satellite launches. 10000000 euros a shot compared to 130000000 for and arianne to keep costs down. Its launchers will contain many standard components from the auto industry. But its designing the Propulsion Systems from scratch and will 3 d. Print a lot of the parts yet big launches such as arianna, a very complex and post lots of expensive custom components. They take ages to build. By contrast, our f. A. A. Aims to develop and deploy its 1st launcher within just 3 years. Will be financially viable with one launch a month. But we want to see a launch a week that the whole thing should be. So industrialised and automated that its no longer anything special. Flying between braman in munich is not a big deal, but it was a century ago. We want to see the same thing with rockets. Small satellite launch vehicles are set to make getting into orbit more affordable, potentially opening up the heavens to a whole range of new ventures. The vastness of space presents another problem for any potential Business Activity there. The logistics of covering huge distances in a practical amount of time. If only there was some sort of system like teleportation, it works in star trek. But could it work . In reality, my colleague has been investigating a long time ago when space ships were made of paper and plastic and it snowed, powdered al, and many m. During the dean materialization process, people and things were magically beamed about in star trek films. How nice would it be if we could be in ourselves around the globe teleportation instead of airplanes and c o 2 emissions . Think about how beneficial it would be for the climate along in todays physics. In fact, teleportation is no longer science fiction. Im always surprised about all the weird things that happen for the minor. While your heart is a quantum physicist at the Austrian Academy of sciences. His excursions into space travel are just a hobby work. He explores the weird and Wonderful World of teleportation of quantum teleportation to be precise. As a, having watched our trek, for instance, people imagine that you somehow beam matter or even energy, because thats how its done on the show that people disappear in the transporter and then reappear on an alien planet. When the similarity is that the system rebuilds the object identically in another place, or whats more at the exact same time or instantaneously regardless of the distance involved. Thats how the quantum world works via quantum entanglement. Einstein thought it was pretty spooky transferring information faster than the speed of light. So does this mean travelling not only with 0 emissions, but also with 0 delay . Thats what happens with quantum teleportation. Is that really just that you want him information in this system is transferred to another place onto another identical system. About what the matter itself. Atoms are photons or whatever its made of does not get transferred, so it doesnt disappear. But what does disappears the information it gets destroyed . Still. So if 2 quanta are connected this way, they can Exchange Information without a moments delay, but not the matter. It really is just the information. Ok then couldnt i just split myself into quanta and send their information to another entangled Quantum Cloud . I mean, then it would just need to be reassembled correctly, right. Lets just say that right now, we dont know of anything that would fundamentally speak against it, but it would have to work in a completely different way. But well need completely different set ups than what were creating now. Other than if i could build a device that could do this and youd ask me whether i would put myself inside it. Id say no. So mr spock would probably have to get beamed into glittery shower of aluminum grey. Like in the old days. And dont forget the enterprise at least spread through the universe, powered by an anti matter and Hydrogen Engine with not even a whiff of emissions. By the way, a piece of trivia for you, the words you me up, scotty. Whenever said precisely in better form of the static, serious, maybe it will work with the me apart. And thats all from this edition of made. See you next time until then. Good bye. And keep watching the skies. Theyre fighting against Sexual Assault in the Congo International dr.
