You may have never heard of the Space Economy. Thats ok. You’ve probably never heard of the internet economy but you know the trillion dollar companies (Microsoft, Amazon, etc…) that make up the “internet economy”. The internet economy is so much a part of the economy that there is no reason to discuss the internet economy, as though it was separate from the economy. However, the internet economy is relatively new. Its just a little younger than the internet itself, so about 30 years old. Why does the internet economy matter? Because the Space Economy is going to be even more valuable than the internet economy (and by default The Economy of earth). DYK — the Earth’s first Quadrillionaire will be made in Space?

So, what is the #SpaceEconomy? Three numbers to help you wrap your head around the Space Economy:

$400B

The value of the Space Economy in the year 2020.

$4Trillion+

The value of the Space Economy by the 2040s.

1 Million

Number of Humans living on Mars by 2050, per Elon Musk, the Milky Way Galaxy’s first quadrillionaire.

To put the Space Economy into perspective what you think of as the “AI” economy is projected to be worth $126B dollars by 2026. Meanwhile the Space Economy is worth 3x that today.
