Iain Christie: I am here again with Salar Javid. This is the second article that we have written together, and it is a continuation of our previous one. In that article we talked about the idea that the mining industry has some interesting parallels to the space business. Particularly when it comes to attracting investment to a business that is long-term exploratory and capital intensive.

The authors discuss the underperformance of the space sector in attracting investment, likening it to the mining industry. They explore parallels in capital structures, risk management, and the importance of transparency following historical events like the Bre-X scandal. The conversation emphasizes learning from mining's evolution to enhance investor confidence in space.

The 11th Planetary and Terrestrial Mining Sciences Symposium and Space Resources Roundtable is just two weeks away and will be held virtually between June 8-11.

On this weeks episode of the Space Economy podcast we have a Future In-Space Operations presentation by Mike Gold with an update on the Artemis Accords and some insights the future of space resources.

In parts 1 and 2 of this series, we considered the Executive Order relating to space resources and the Artemis Accords, and what they might imply for Canada if this country signed onto supporting them. In part 3, we will attempt to wrap up the discussion within a global context, including some concluding remarks.

In part 1 of this series, we considered the Executive Order issued by the U.S. President on “Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources”, dated 6 April 2020, and what this might imply for Canada if it signed onto supporting the order.

The United States government has recently announced two major proclamations in relation to their current and future space exploration program and has requested prospective international partners, including Canada, to effectively embrace these declarations if they wish to join the U.S. program.

With the recent announcement by NASA of the Artemis Accords and the White House Executive Order on space resource utilization, we wanted interview someone from the commercial space sector.

On April 6, 2020 US President Donald Trump signed an executive order effectively stating that US companies can exploit space resources.

Ottawa will host the 11th joint meeting of the Planetary & Terrestrial Mining Sciences Symposium (PTMSS) and Space Resources Roundtable (SRR) next June.
