A solar system-wide economy
Space remains the Final Frontier, with virtually unlimited energy, resources, and potential. Emerging Futures works with government agencies including NASA, nonprofits, and commercial companies to explore promising markets and technologies for space development. Let’s grow a human-centered economy in space without despoiling it for future generations.

About
Emerging Futures, LLC was founded in 2016 as a research and analysis consultancy and is based on the U.S. West Coast. Its interests currently focus on two broad areas: climate change mitigation, and the commercial expansion of humanity into space. While seemingly unrelated, we view these two topics as intimately linked to each other.

Sustainable Space Development
Current projects
We are pursuing an enabling technology to accelerate the development of commercial operations on the lunar surface (details to be announced soon)
Emerging Futures is exploring how commercial space tourism could grow into a viable business over the next several years, with the emergence of Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and SpaceX as companies offering suborbital and orbital human spaceflight.
