In this report below, we outline a selection of options for pragmatic approaches to governance that could emerge for each resource system, with the specific goal of highlighting alternatives to a top-down, one-size-fits-all approach.

The objective of the scorecard is to provide a starting point for evaluating the relative scarcity of specific lunar and outer space resources with current information. Through this evaluation, resource systems that are inherently vulnerable or at risk of becoming scarce are easier to prioritize for management.

Cross-sectional collaboration to adopt a resource management framework addressing scarcity in a way that fairly balances the interests of all stakeholders - small and large, rich and poor, present and future - would be a fantastic policy base on which to build a space economy.

This research considers an economic model that addresses the possible lunar needs for an emerging and integrated African continent, and a determined and curious globe.

This new province of humankind is closer than ever. The Outer Space Treaty (OST) continues to provide the foundations for our activities in outer space. General guidance must now become specific, and we must figure out those specifics with diverse voices, together.
