I’m a student at Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough, MA, graduating in June 2021. Space Market is my idea for a company that can mine the Moon and the asteroids to help colonize space. I’ve been doing a lot of research work in Space and this site contains my research and ideas. Space is my #1 passion, but I’m also an athlete who plays 2 sports: Karate (4x National Champion, 3rd degree blackbelt) and Football. You can click here to see some pictures.
I believe that the human race needs to colonize space to continue to grow and even survive. Humans are explorers and we need to pursue new areas. Also, as a species, we’re vulnerable to an extinction event (pandemic, asteroid strike, nuclear war) if we’re just on Earth.
The amount of resources needed to colonize space are so much that it is impossible to carry them all from Earth. The Moon and the asteroids are potentially rich in many of the resources that we need e.g. water, oxygen, metals and other minerals. We need to mine the Moon and the asteroids if we’re to colonize space.
