Helium 3 on the Moon, Interlune must make a first attempt work. Interlune claims it has proprietary technologies that will allow for the excavation and processing of industrial quantities of lunar soil to extract helium-3. That demonstrator mission is loosely scheduled for 2026, piggybacking a NASA Commercial Lunar Services Provider mission. “Then we want to put a pilot plant in place by 2028,” Meyerson said, and by 2030 start to operationalize and return quantities of helium-3 to support the markets on Earth. Helium-3 on the moon is worth $4 billion per ton, up to a million metrics tons of helium 3 on the moon. Helium-3 from lunar mining valued its helium at $1.5 quadrillion

Moon Satellites
Solar System internet on Moon then Mars.
Earth Has Received Power Beamed From A Satellite In Space For The First Time. Using their Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment (MAPLE), the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD) has showcased that transmitting power in space and from space to Earth is possible. This is the first time solar power has been transmitted from orbit and could be the first step toward a solar power station in space. First launched in January 2023, just two months later the device was able to transmit about 100 milliwatts worth of power through space and could easily be refocused to send the beam in any direction. The test sending power to Earth had about 1 milliwatt of power getting to the ground and was conducted three times over eight months.

Water on Mars
Mars may hold a massive water reservoir, enough to flood the planet up to nine feet. Mars may be hiding a vast stash of water beneath the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF) near its equator. This ice-rich deposit could be the largest known water reservoir in this part of Mars, with an estimated volume comparable to Earth’s Red Sea. Water on Mars could be used for drinking, oxygen generation, and even fuel production, reducing reliance on Earth-based supplies.
Water Ice Has Officially Been Found On Mars:
This image, captured by ESA’s Mars Express, Mars Korolev crater, an 82-kilometer-wide structure located in the northern lowlands of Mars. Korolev crater on Mars resembles a vast field of snow but is actually filled with ice. The crater, located in Mars’ northern lowlands near the Olympia Undae dune fields, spans 82 kilometers and has a central ice mound up to 1.8 kilometers thick that remains year-round
Martian Hydrogen fuel and Oxygen through electrolysis

Terraforming Mars
The planet’s lack of a protective magnetic field means the solar wind will continue stripping its atmosphere and water, reverting our changes to Mars or constantly degrading them.
To truly terraform Mars, we would need to fix its magnetic field—or lack thereof. A magnetic field placed at point called L1 between the Sun and Mars, where their gravities roughly cancel out, could in theory encompass Mars and protect it from the solar wind. A magnetic field of 10,000 to 20,000 Gauss would sufficiently shield Mars against the solar wind. We can currently put a field of about 2,000 Gauss at the Sun-Mars L1 point.

Psyche 16
There's a metal asteroid out there worth $10,000 quadrillion. 16 Psyche is one of the most massive objects in the main asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter.
David A
The current most valuable asteroid listed is 511 Davida, a C-type asteroid with a diameter pushing 200 miles. It's located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and is estimated to be valued more than $15.4 quintillion - $27 quintillion.

Asteroid 3554 Amun, a metallic asteroid, as potentially having $20 trillion in gold beneath its surface, along with another $8 trillion in iron and nickel, $6 trillion in cobalt and $6 trillion in platinum.
Asteroid 1986 DA
A Nearby Asteroid 1986 DA Contains More Than $11 Trillion in Precious Metals. More than the Earth’s entire global metal reserves. Asteroid 1986 DA, also known as (6178) 1986 DA, has a minimum distance from Earth of approximately 0.1922 AU (astronomical units), which translates to roughly 28.8 million kilometers (17.9 million miles) at its closest approach; this means it never actually crosses Earth's orbit but comes close to it from the outside. A typical spacecraft might travel at speeds around 25,000 miles per hour, which would take roughly a month to cover 28 million miles.
Asteroid 2016 ED85
Asteroid 2016 ED85 and Earth varies, but it's typically less than 20 million miles from Earth every 20–30 years. 2016 ED85 is a metal-rich "mini-Psyche" asteroid. Asteroid 2016 ED85, along with asteroid 1986 DA, is estimated to contain precious metals worth $11.65 trillion.

Jupiter moons: Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
Jupiter's moon Ganymede has 46%, and Europa has 16% liquid water by volume.
Europa, which has a balance of hydrogen and oxygen similar to Earth. These findings support the possibility that Europa could be hospitable to life. The ocean is frozen 10 miles deep, but future missions might try to discover if the body of water is warm enough beneath the surface to support life.
Scientists have discovered 62 new moons orbiting the sixth planet Saturn making a total of 145 moons.
Saturn Moons: Dione, Enceladus, Epimetheus, Prometheus, Mimas, Rhea, Janus, Tethys and Titan.
Scientists believe several moons within our solar system have significant subsurface liquid water deposits. Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa are two examples. Both appear to have salty, liquid oceans covered with thick layers of ice at the surface.
Scientists have found evidence that Saturn's moon Mimas may have an ocean locked underneath a shell of ice.
Titan moon's colossal methane seas. Measurements of a big sea on Titan, a moon of Saturn, show that it contains about 9,000 cubic km of mostly liquid methane. This huge volume is equivalent, say scientists, to about 40 times the proven reserves of oil and gas on Earth.
Charting the Milky Way From the Inside Out. The results support the four-arm model of our galaxy's spiral structure. For the last few years, various methods of charting the Milky Way have largely led to a picture of four spiral arms. The arms are where most stars in the galaxy are born. They are stuffed with gas and dust, the ingredients of stars. Two of the arms, called Perseus and Scutum-Centaurus, seem to be more prominent and jam-packed with stars, while the Sagittarius and Outer arms have as much gas as the other two arms but not as many stars.
We find that the distance from the sun to the galaxy’s center is 8,150 + 150 parsecs (or 26,600 light-years). This is smaller than the value of 8,500 parsecs recommended decades ago by the International Astronomical Union. Also, we find that the Milky Way is spinning at 236 kilometers per second, which is about eight times the speed at which Earth orbits the sun. Based on these parameter values, we find that the sun circles the Milky Way every 212 million years.
