A recent paper outlines key areas for future research to better understand the implications and potential of space mining for sustainable growth on Earth. These areas include the development of more comprehensive growth models, understanding the optimal sequence of mining and processing in space versus Earth, and more closely examining the potential costs involved.
The paper also discusses the need for more consistent investment in space technologies and calls for a combined law and economics perspective to clarify property rights in outer space.
Questions remain about the best mechanisms for sharing the benefits of space resources and mitigating risk to encourage private investment.
