Economics
The “Space Age” began on October 4, 1957 when Soviet Union launched Sputnik satellite that weighed 40 kilograms, traveled at eight kilometers per second, and orbited Earth once in evert 96 minutes. Today, there are estimated 3,400 operational commercial and military satellites plus 2,600 defunct satellites orbiting Earth. Big Tech companies have established the Internet and changed to world.
In 1966, Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek TV episodes and movies were about humanity’s future adventures into space. The first Star Trek TV episode took place with Captain James T. Kirk and a crew aboard the U.S.S, Enterprise. Its five-year mission was to explore the Milky Way Galaxy and to “boldly go where one has gone before.”
Enterprisers have turned the following Star Trek technologies into reality: Tablet computers, Tractor beams, Tricorders, Cell phones, Flip communicators (and wearable badge communicators), Hypo Sprays, Cloaking devices, Voice interface computers, Transparent aluminum, Bluetooth headsets , Google Glass, Portable memory (from floppy disks to USB sticks), Focused ultrasound technology, Biometric data tracking for health and verifying identity, GPS, Automatic doors, Big screen displays, Teleconferencing, VISOR bionic eyes for the blind, and Diagnostic beds
The Space Economy Growth
In the next ten to fifteen years, the Space Economy grows from $1 trillion to over $10 trillion. Spacecraft take millions of tourists on space adventures on von Braun’s rotating “Love Boats in the Sky” orbiting Earth in minutes, underground communities on the Moon in hours, Mars and asteroid belt in days, plus Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in weeks. Spacecraft use commercial airports, which significantly reduces the cost of space travel. The estimated cost per person for traveling to International Space Stations or “Love Boats in the Sky” could be reduced from $50 million to $50,000 and the Moon from $2 billion to $200,000. U.S. Space Force protects commercial spacecraft and communities on the Moons and planets.
In fifteen to twenty years, the Space Economy grows to over $100 trillion as commercial starships take millions of explorers to some of the 200 billion stars and a trillion planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. Starships travel in space bubbles and use force fields, warp drives, quantum computers, replicators, transporters (Beam me up), and holodecks. U.S. Space Force joins the United Federation of Planets. Star Trek Prime Directive is adopted to prohibit interference with other cultures and civilizations representatives encountered in the exploration of space. The United Federation of Planets negotiates peace agreements with other civilizations that are encountered in the exploration of space.
Energy Economy creates economic prosperity by generating clean energy, reallocating natural resources, and providing students with a World-Class Education. Starships protect humanity from tyrants and enables ten billion people living on Earth to live in peace and harmony with nature. The Earth and Space Economies grow to over $1,000 trillion.
Space Travel
Spacecraft are like airplanes and use commercial airports, which significantly reduces the cost of space travel. The estimated cost per person for traveling to International Space Stations or “Love Boats in the Sky” could be reduced from $50 million to $50,000 and the Moon from $2 billion to $200,000. U.S. Space Force protects commercial spacecraft and communities on the Moons and planets.
In the 21st century, the Space Economy grows to over $100 trillion as commercial starships takes millions of explorers to some of the 200 billion stars and a trillion planets in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Trekkies and people interested in understanding humanity’s future in space should attend the 55 Year Mission Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas on August 11 through 15, 2021.
