NASA is partnering with private companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Nokia, Lockheed Martin, and General Motors to develop solutions for its Artemis missions, which aim to establish human settlements on the moon and pave the way for extraplanetary colonization. This new market, estimated to be worth over $100 billion, offers opportunities for commercial development, including lunar transport, GPS, Wi-Fi, and moon mining. The moon's resources, such as regolith, water, and rare-earth elements, could be mined for clean energy, construction, and fuel for future missions to Mars. NASA's goal is to foster commercial activity and commerce in space, leaving behind a legacy of routine living and working beyond Earth.
