Check out the blog of the Off-World Venture! Take in the big view with the Table of Contents, offworldventure.com/2021/04/…, or just start with what it’s all About, offworldventure.com/about. More posts already in the works...
A substantial, and passionate, guidebook to the Offworld Venture.
Imagine the future, then make it happen!
My response to the Question about lunar exploration from OSTP. It's also about our future. We are not doomed! denniswingo.wordpress.com/20…
Great to see an article on Lunar ISRU showing up in the popular press.

The APL investments APL looks good for starting the Offworld Venture.
Whether they/NASA can deliver is an open question.
Clearly the economic model they desire is not compatible with SLS costs. So Starship better work and do so at low cost!

3D printing is going to be sooo important to the offworld venture. Every successful usage just takes us a step closer.
Oh, and Happy Fourth!

Got to love an offworld venture that is based from... another offworld venture!

The offworld venture beckons...
This is awesome. See following tweets as well.
How to extract metal, oxygen, and pure silica from raw regolith (moon dust), by solar melting it with a sodium-based flux: a presentation at tomorrow's Space Resources Roundtable (SRR) by my awesome student Joren Bowling, on work we've been doing with @LucasSa54749430 on #ISRU🧵

CSMC is very excited to announce that we were awarded a contract by the @csa_asc to help shape a vision for the future of the Canadian space program on the moon and beyond. CSMC believes Canada will lead the world in space resources, for the benefit of the life on earth. #ISRU

ALT Visual with the Earth, Moon and Mars on which is written "Media advisory".
This article about @UNSW research on regolith mining is published to the mining industry. More people with wider experience focusing on the offworld venture!

Congratulations to Boeing on this win. It is a win for all of us in space.
Great @BLal quote: “In situ resource utilization will almost certainly be required for any sustainable human presence of humanity in space. However, the trillionaires aren’t coming for a while.”
As always, @jeff_foust gets to the heart of the matter! Great read. thespacereview.com/article/4…
Per USAF: “Bottom line, chemical and solar-based systems won’t provide the power needed for future DoD missions.”
Excited to be working with DIU on an EmberCore based propulsion system for small spacecraft. Thanks for the feature, @SpaceNews_Inc.

And: "The idea is to begin preparing now for a future in which the material trapped in the Sun's vicinity is available for incorporation into our way of life."
This speech never gets old. "As I see it, questions about the vision boil down to whether we want to incorporate the Solar System in our economic sphere, or not." Marburger

DARPA moving forward with development of DRACO nuclear powered spacecraft spacenews.com/darpa-moving-f…
Absolutely!
Jerry Sanders, Lead for In-Situ Resource Utilization (#ISRU) at @NASA: "ISRU doesn't exist on its own, it has to be part of a bigger picture. You need #power systems, #transportation systems, maintenance, etc.".

Congrats to @USNCTech on the award of a NASA Phase II SBIR. This is critical path technology for the offworld venture!
We're excited to announce that NASA has selected our team at @USNCTech to build a proposed ultra-high temperature component testing facility to support the advancement of NTP technology.

Every time I see yet another material added to the long/growing list of 3D printables, I also see another piece of a self-sustaining, ISRU-based off world economy snap into place.
New paper out in @AdditiveJournal, on #3Dprintable #composites for #RF applications!
