The Solar System: A Shared Future
A Freedom 2028 Plan to Harvest Space Resources for All of Earth
From One Nation to One Planet
The United States will lead—but not to dominate.
We begin this journey with our own resources and resolve, but we do so in the spirit of global cooperation. The Moon, the asteroids, and the vast energy of our Sun are not the inheritance of a single country—they are the shared opportunity of humanity.
Let this be Earth’s project. Let us be the ones to begin it.
Phase 1: Start with Us (2028–2035)
Build the tools. Extend the invitation.
Launch lunar and asteroid mapping missions
Develop autonomous mining and processing technology
Pass U.S. space resource legislation focused on stewardship and equity
Host the first Earth-Orbit Resource Summit
Establish the Open Source Space Mining Consortium to share discoveries and tech with allies
Phase 2: Expand the Circle (2035–2045)
From national mission to planetary collaboration
Transition key missions into joint international ventures
Draft the Global Solar Development Charter with participating nations
Share infrastructure—fuel depots, solar arrays, data systems—with emerging space nations
Return mined materials and energy to support Earth’s clean economy
Phase 3: Earth-Owned Economy (2045–2065)
Off-world profits. On-world progress.
Transition lunar and orbital stations into UN-registered cooperative sites
Establish a Global Earth Dividend: using space wealth to support education, climate repair, and global development
Guarantee transparent accounting of all space resources extracted
Phase 4: Humanity’s Legacy (2065 and beyond)
A new era of stewardship and shared civilization
Form a Planetary Council for Celestial Resources
Educate and engage global youth through a Solar System Citizen Science Network
End Earth-based rare metal mining through abundant, sustainable off-world supply
Declare the Moon and Mars off-limits to military conflict and protected for peaceful development
What We’re Mining — and Why It Matters
| Resource | Location | Use | Global Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helium-3 | Moon | Fusion energy | Clean energy revolution |
| Water ice | Moon, Asteroids | Fuel, oxygen, life support | Enables deep space travel |
| Platinum-group metals | Asteroids | Electronics, medical tech | Ends rare Earth exploitation |
| Methane & hydrocarbons | Titan | Fuel and chemistry | Powers interplanetary industry |
| Solar energy | Space-based | Power beamed to Earth | Unlimited clean power |
| Iron, Nickel, Silicates | Asteroids, Moon | Construction in space | Reduces launch waste, builds habitats |
Why It’s Time
The same energy and vision that took us to the Moon can now unlock the resources of the entire solar system.
Not to hoard.
Not to conquer.
But to share—and to ensure a better life for all.
