The Future
Don't get me wrong, the SpaceX Starship is an amazing craft and will make this company successful and profitable. However, we are already looking beyond its use for transportation to orbit and considering using it as a mining craft. Once we have several crafts in operation mining materials in space, we can work towards developing our own larger space-built mining craft, which will allow for even greater profits.
Additionally, ships of this size will enable us to mine minerals for construction in orbital and deep-system stations and structures, both for our own operations and others. Our short-term goal involves constructing a shipyard to build the boxes and take on contract work. Next, we plan to establish a transfer station, which will allow us to move minerals to landers and minimize the downtime of our space-based ships.
Then, the most important structure for our future will be a refinery. This will be our most valuable long-term project, as it will allow us to refine high-value rare earth minerals in space, making the landing much more valuable. Moreover, a refinery will enable us to manufacture larger refineries to place around the belt and agriculture stations, among other locations.
